Rangers Enter Postseason on Six-Game Winning Streak

Quarterback Parker Towns completed 10-of-11 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns.

Young Offensive Line Powering Emphatic Offense
The Rangers open the postseason with the top-ranked offense in the Metroplex. Averaging 536 yards per game, over 70 yards above second place Mesquite John Horn, a first-year offensive line has played a key role in the Rangers' success. Consisting of juniors Connor Curreri, Skyler Dixon, Ryan Helm, Wyatt Hummel and Niko Triantos alongside sophomores Branson Hickman, Ethan Lane and David Morales, the Ranger offensive line has paved the way for Jesuit's 242.8 rushing yards per game while only allowing nine sacks this season.
 
Milestone Seasons Achieved by Offensive Weapons
After Friday's performance, sophomore E.J. Smith joined the 1,000-yard rushing club and will enter the first week of the playoffs with 1,011 yards during his first varsity campaign. Senior Parker Towns needs 208 yards to hit the 3,000-yard milestone while Fletcher Rosenbleeth is 192 yards from 1,500 receiving yards this season. Sophomore Jack Barton has four interceptions to his credit, one away from tying John Michael Priddy '16 for the team's best interception total in the past three seasons.
 
UIL Playoff History
Jesuit Dallas has won five consecutive bi-district championships dating back to 2012. The Rangers have captured the last four bi-district titles inside the friendly confines of Postell Stadium, most recently upending Naaman Forest, 32-6, on Nov. 11, 2016. Since 2004, Jesuit Dallas has made the UIL football playoffs in 11 of 14 years and improve its streak of competing in the postseason to eight consecutive seasons. 
 
Scouting Lakeview Centennial
The Patriots earned a playoff berth after posting a 3-3 record in District 10-6A, but enter Friday's contest on a two-game skid and 4-6 overall record. Lakeview Centennial had an opportunity to host a bi-district round contest with a victory over Naaman Forest but let a 10-8, third-quarter lead slip away in a 29-17 setback. The Patriot offense has been facilitated through a pair of running backs who have each carried the ball over 100 times this year; senior Te'Darius Herford leads the team with 649 yards and has scored seven touchdowns while classmate Maurico Sneed has found pay dirt a team-high eight times while racking up 621 yards. Senior quarterback Jaylen Jones has thrown for seven touchdowns and 636 yards while sophomore Jarret Adams has 681 passing yards and a 60.7 percent completion percentage this season.
