Jesuit Dallas dropped a 5-2 decision to Coppell to open the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Region I-6A Area Round on Thursday at Cowboy Stadium. The Cowboys used a three-run first inning to pull ahead of the Rangers early, then held on down the stretch as Jesuit attempted to rally with several clutch hits in the third and fifth.
 
Seniors Myles Tucker and David Long drove in runs for Jesuit, as runs were scored from freshman Jake Fults and sophomore Cameron Davis. Tucker scored Fults on a ground-rule double to left center field in the third inning, while a single to left by Long in the fourth plated Davis. Long tied junior Callen Singhania for the team lead with two hits apiece. On the mound, junior Luke Isett struck out three batters over 4.1 innings, while junior Jack Barr threw the final 1.2 innings of the game without allowing a hit.
