Drexel Hill, Pa. - A career performance by junior Cal Linn and another 20-point outing from classmate Gavin Perryman powered Jesuit Dallas past Monsignor Bonner, 69-60, on Thursday evening. The Rangers move to 4-5 on the year ahead of a Friday evening showdown against fellow Jesuit school St. Joseph's Prep.
 
Linn and Perryman buried five three-pointers each and turned in identical 21-point performances. Perryman continues a strong streak of solid outings with his third consecutive 20-point game and will head into Friday's game averaging 18.4 points per game. Linn's previous career best of 12, recorded in the season-opener against Mesquite on Nov. 19, was surpassed with a 7-of-10 performance from the floor. Senior Darryl Brown recorded his second double-double of the year with 10 points and 10 rebounds, as classmate Eli Steger tacked on seven points and seven boards.
 
Jesuit shot 54.2 percent from the floor and scored 20 points off of 12 Bonner turnovers adding 28 points in the paint and 10 second chance points off of eight offensive rebounds. Steger and Brown tied for the team lead with four assists each while junior Shane Hatzmann tacked on three assists and three rebounds.
 
Linn sparked the Jesuit offense with a three-pointer to start the game, beginning a battle that would eventually see the teams exchange 10 lead changes across the 32-minute bout. Bonner led by four with 4:11 left in the first, but back-to-back layups by Brown and junior Conor Moore tied the game with 2:24 remaining in the opening quarter. Junior Will Cordle buried a three-pointer at the 1:12 mark to put the Rangers ahead, but a layup at the buzzer by Bonner tied the game, 17-17, at the conclusion of the first.
 
The second quarter remained a one-possession game with a handful of ties and lead changes until the 3:38 mark, when Bonner's Tyrese Watson converted all three shots of a three-point foul to put the Friars up by four. Jesuit used a six-point swing to take a two-point lead before Linn hit back-to-back three-pointers to put the Rangers up five with 18 seconds left. Bonner once again scored at the buzzer to cut into the lead, sending Jesuit into halftime with a 34-32 lead.
 
A runner in the lane by Linn and three-pointer by Perryman put Jesuit up by seven before another three pointer, shot by junior Luke Lucido, answered a Bonner layup to put Jesuit up eight. Bonner would battle back to take a one-point lead with 36 seconds left in the third, but Perryman would hit a three-pointer with eight seconds left to send the game into the fourth with Jesuit holding a 53-51 lead.
 
Bonner erupted out of the gate in the fourth quarter on a 7-0 run that put the Friars up by five with 6:19 left in regulation. Perryman started the Ranger comeback with a layup, followed by layups from Brown and Steger that gave Jesuit the lead back with 3:20 left. Linn hit a key three-pointer with 2:46 left to start a game-ending, 10-point run that clinched the game for the Rangers.
 
Jesuit Dallas will battle St. Joseph's Prep on Friday at 7 p.m. EST at Kelly Fieldhouse. The matchup will pit Jesuit Dallas head coach Chris Hill and the Rangers against a Hawks team that is 2-1 on the season and is led by legendary head coach William "Speedy" Morris, a 52-year coaching veteran who has 1,024 career victories and is entering his final season prior to retirement.
