The Rangers will advance to face Longview on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 4 p.m. at John E. Kincaide Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
 
Senior Parker Towns shined in his final home game, scoring four rushing touchdowns while throwing for three scores and 320 yards to pace the Jesuit offense. Classmate Fletcher Rosenbleeth added five receptions for 155 yards and two touchdowns while sophomore E.J. Smith secured a career-high 183 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Jesuit Dallas (7-4) out-gained Lakeview Centennial (4-7), 753-724 in a wild back-and-forth affair supplemented by a 445-yard performance by Patriots' freshman running back Camar Wheaton.
