Senior Ethan Kissee and junior Alex Giebler kept the Rangers' incredible spring run intact, capturing tournament first place honors at the James Hood Tennis Invitational, held on Feb. 25 at Westwood High School in Round Rock, Texas. Saturday's impressive tournament victory completed a week which saw the Rangers defeat Episcopal School of Dallas, 8-3, on Tuesday, Feb. 21.
 
Against the Eagles, freshmen Trey Ashmore, Stewart Buchanan, Patrick Moore, Diego Trejo and senior Joey Cistulli secured victories, providing the full Ranger roster to compete during the week split between the dual meet and weekend tournament.
 
"This was an opportunity to show off our depth," commented Jesuit Dallas head coach Paul McDaniel. "A lot of teams take out the top six players and they dive hard.  Not us, the freshmen and the younger players really played hard and stayed focused."
 
Kissee and Giebler captured the B Doubles Championship, running the table after earning the top seed in the bracket. The tournament title in Austin is the third tournament doubles crown for the Rangers, following titles for senior Hayden Kissee and junior John Lindberg at the Grapevine Ice Bowl and Coppell Super Bowl tournaments in late January and early February. Kissee and Lindberg saw their tournament run halted by Westlake in the semifinals.
 
"Kissee and Giebler really complement each other and it's been fun watching them win tournaments," added McDaniel. "We thought they might be good but this has been a very pleasant surprise."
 
Jesuit Dallas will return to the court on Tuesday, Mar. 7 against Greenhill. The Rangers and Hornets will square off at 4:15 p.m. from Greenhill School in Addison, Texas.
