A career effort from senior Michael Grant helped the Rangers claw their way back from a 14-point third quarter deficit, but the Jesuit magic ran one possession short of a statement-making comeback win as Rockwall escaped with a wild, 70-68 win in double overtime on Monday at Rockwall H.S.
 
Grant exploded for 33 points, hitting five three-pointers and closing out the contest with 10 rebounds for a double-double. Seniors Caleb Steger and Charlie Peters scored eight points apiece, with Peters adding six rebounds. Junior William Alexander hit a pair of clutch buckets in the fourth quarter to help force overtime, finishing the game with seven points while leading the team with five assists on the afternoon.
 
Senior Kevin Butera scored five points, junior Cooper Jensen hit a three-pointer and the Ranger scoring column was completed by two points apiece from senior Ethan Mahowald and junior Justin Fern. Grant and Peters tied for the team lead with two steals apiece, while Grant added three blocks to his stellar game total.
 
Jesuit will face a quick turnaround as the Rangers will battle Dallas Lincoln on Tuesday, November 26 at Walsh Gym. Tip-off for the varsity matchup is set for 12 p.m.
