In their penultimate meet of the 2016-17 season, the Jesuit bowling team upended the Grapevine Mustangs, 13-2, on Monday, Feb. 13 at ITZ Euless. A dominating effort from start to finish, Jesuit enters a key matchup against L.D. Bell on Feb. 18 with momentum after Monday's victory.
 
Junior Solon Hamer and sophomore Timothy Montpas passed the Rangers in singles lay, helping the Blue and Gold secure a 5-2 lead heading into the baker games. Needing two points in baker to clinch not only a match but secure a berth in the Texas High School Bowling Conference (THSBC) Regional Tournament, the Blue and Gold cruised to a sweep of both matches, guaranteeing their spot in the postseason.
 
"Grapevine really bowled well and never let up," commented Jesuit Dallas head coach Ken Howell. "Our guys just stepped up and would not let this match slip away from them. Going into our last match against L.D. Bell and then regionals, this showed our guys are ready to pull some upsets."
 
Entering the final match of the year with a 6-3 record, Jesuit will look to avenge an early season setback to L.D. Bell in their second clash of the regular season, which will take place at Euless ITZ on February 18.
