Rangers Secure Regular-Season Closing Win Over Nimitz on Soggy Senior Night

11/9/2024 6:11:00 PM

Jesuit Dallas football will head into the postseason on a four-game winning streak after upending Nimitz, 56-14 on senior night at Ranger Stadium. A roughly hour-long rain delay did not dissuade the Rangers, as Jesuit uncorked 35 unanswered points to open the contest as a wildly efficient, all-around team performance helped Jesuit close the regular season with a 6-4 record.
 
Senior quarterback Charlie Peters completed 18-of-20 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns, picking up 36 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground. Senior Henry Bourret scored two rushing touchdowns as senior Ryan Engelhardt added one of his own, helping the Rangers amass 163 team rushing yards and 5.4 yards per carry. Junior Lucas Mayer led the team in rushing with seven carries for 58 yards. 
 
Senior Jack Yeskie caught five passes for 61 yards to lead the team, while receiving touchdowns were scored by seniors Jaeger Krauss, Blake Bodnar, Jett Kipness and Jude Kruse. Senior Sebastian Ferraez caught two passes for 35 yards. Senior Will Naughton completed a touchdown pass and completed five passes, and junior Beck Berry went 3-for-4 from behind center while connecting for his first career varsity touchdown.
 
Defensively, seniors Julien Bird, Cooper Smith and junior Cabe Weissmueller tied for the team lead with seven tackles apiece. Smith would add a tackle for loss and forced fumble. Senior Cade Gill cost the Vikings six yards on 1.5 tackles for loss, closing out the contest with four total stops. Senior Cole Hatzmann, junior Cole Wombacher and junior Tanner Krug also added tackles for loss. Senior Noah McGough was 7-for-7 on extra-point attempts, and junior Cooper McGough converted the team's final extra point of the evening.
 
Jesuit will turn its attention to the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Region I-6A Division II Tournament, where the Rangers will enter as the No. 2 seed out of District 7-6A. In the bi-district round, the Rangers will square off against Arlington Bowie, the District 8-6A overall champion that finished the year unbeaten in district play while securing a 7-3 record. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Wilemon Field on the campus of Sam Houston H.S.
