DALLAS - The Jesuit Dallas football team went back and forth with McKinney but ultimately, fell 35-34 on a missed 2-point conversion with 16 seconds left at Ranger Stadium on Friday.
Jesuit (4-5, 3-3 District 6-6A) is now in a must-win game next Thursday at Rock Hill. The winner will move on to the UIL Class 6A Division 2 Playoffs.
The running backs took center stage on Friday, with Jesuit's
Ty Daboub rushing for a career-high 194 yards and three touchdowns, while McKinney's TJ Corbett also went for a career-best with 237 and all five of the Lions' scores.
JP Livingstone threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions on Jesuit's first two drives of the game. The second one was at the two yard line.
Despite those turnovers, the Rangers moved the ball well and scored on two of their next three possessions to go into the half tied at 14. In the second half, the teams scored on seven of the eight possessions, with the one non score coming when Jesuit had to punt after stalling out at the Lions' 40.
