Jesuit Dallas remained unbeaten in University Interscholastic League (UIL) District 9-6A, scoring 30 points in the paint, 20 points off turnovers while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor in a 68-38 win over R.L. Turner on Friday at Walsh Gymnasium.

Fresh off of a huge win over Texas state-ranked No. 22 MacArthur on Tuesday, the Rangers (15-5, 5-0 UIL) were led offensively by sophomore Marcus Hill, who scored 24 points en route to his second-highest scoring outing of the season.  Recording his 10th consecutive double digit performance and third outing of 20 points or more in the Rangers' last five games, Hill went 5-of-9 from three-point range while tacking on a team-leading three steals.

Three Rangers logged double-digit performances, including junior Mitch Prendergast, who posted 11 points while adding a team-leading four assists.  Senior Ben Kunasek scored 10 points, adding a pair of assists. 

Seniors Rusty Landon and Shawn Regan alongside junior Jacob Palisch snagged four rebounds each, with Regan adding seven points.  Sophomore Reid Hatzmann filled the stat line with six points, two assists, a block and two steals.

The Jesuit Dallas defense limited the Lions (2-14, 0-5 UIL) to 13-of-32 from the field and 3-of-8 from beyond the arc, out-rebounding R.L. Turner, 27-17.  In comparison, the Blue and Gold recorded its second field goal percentage of the season, adding nine second chance points off of eight offensive boards.

Jesuit scored nine unanswered points to start the contest, building the lead to 14-2 before a five-point R.L. Turner run cut into the Ranger lead.  Hatzmann snagged an offensive board and converted a buzzer-beating put back to end the first quarter on a 5-0 Ranger run, spotting Jesuit a 21-11 lead heading into the second.

The Rangers forced five Lions turnovers in the second to take a 19-point lead into halftime, capped with a layup by Prendergast with 18 seconds remaining in the half.  R.L. Turner opened the third quarter shooting 3-of-5 and burying a pair of three-pointers to whittle the Jesuit Dallas lead to 17 points.  However, the Rangers went on a 17-4 run that spanned the end of the third quarter to midway through the fourth to take a 60-30 lead.

Juniors Dixon Smith and Jeff Grimes closed the evening for Jesuit by hitting three-pointers within the final two minutes, holding the Ranger lead at 30 when the final buzzer sounded.

Jesuit Dallas will next travel to Sunset for a mid-week district clash before welcoming state-ranked No. 14 and area-ranked No. 3 Skyline, also unbeaten in District 9-6A, for a huge matchup next Friday at Walsh Gym.
