Jesuit Dallas erupted for two touchdowns in the opening six minutes of the first quarter and never looked back as the Rangers used a balanced offensive presence that scored on eight of 10 drives to secure a 56-7 win over Nimitz on homecoming night at Postell Stadium. Several members of the Ranger senior class made key impacts as the Rangers captured their third district victory of the year and moved to 2-0 in district games played at Postell Stadium.
 
Senior Jake Taylor crossed the 2,000-yard mark for his career with 129 rushing yards on Friday, moving his career total to 2,086 following his performance on senior night. Taylor was one of three Rangers to score a rushing touchdown as fellow senior Kyle Heckel broke of an electric, 52-yard touchdown run to score Jesuit's first points of the game for his first touchdown of the season. Senior Connor Naughton added a rushing touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter.
 
The Ranger quarterback corps finished the contest with a 82.6 percent completion percentage, led by 243 yards and three touchdowns on 12 completions by junior Gage Roy. Senior Connor Naughton added a 7-of-9 clip behind center for 98 yards and two touchdowns to close the five-touchdown night for the Jesuit quarterbacks.
 
Senior Charlie Clements caught two touchdowns, finishing Friday's bout with four receptions for 63 yards. Junior Hunter Krepp added four receptions for a team-leading 92 yards as senior Charlie Cook tacked on four catches for 57 yards. Junior Ford Butler scored his first varsity touchdown on a 60-yard reception, joining junior Cole Younger and Heckel in the receivers' scoring column.
 
Defensively, senior Pierce Jackson led the charge with 10 tackles and a stop behind the line of scrimmage. Fellow senior Jack Judson tacked on 2.5 tackles for loss, adding to his team-leading total. Senior Ethan Tehan recorded seven stops, senior Peter Melle recorded four tackles as seniors Cooper Manning and Sy Mendenhall made two tackles apiece. Melle and senior Graham Bowers combined for Jesuit's lone sack of the game.
 
Jesuit held Nimitz to 7-of-14 on third down conversions, forcing a pair of turnovers on downs and holding Nimitz to an 0-for-2 clip in the red zone. By comparison, Jesuit converted 5-of-6 third-down attempts and scored touchdowns on three of its four chances in the red zone. The Rangers finished the game with 542 total yards, holding Nimitz to 329 total yards and only 99 passing yards.
 
The Rangers enter the final three weeks of the season tied for second place in the district and can clinch a playoff berth with a win against Berkner on Friday alongside a loss by either J.J. Pearce or MacArthur. Jesuit and Berkner will square off on Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Wildcat-Ram Stadium.
