Rugby, to the casual observer, is a game not far removed from American football. It is a game marked by violent collisions and explosive breakaways.

 2016 has finally reached April, which marks the start of warm weather, the entrance of the home stretch for the school year, and the dawn of a new baseball season. Monday marks Opening Day for much of the MLB, including the Texas Rangers, who take on Seattle at home. After a comeback season in which they conquered their division only...

Students representing countries from around the world convene in an assembly room, drafting resolutions, negotiating compromises, and engaging in heated debates over the merits of strategies to resolve pressing global issues. The mass of high school students taking the roles of diplomats from a multitude of nations could pass for a conference of the world’s largest intergovernmental organization. This is...

February 1st, 2016 was a date anticipated by many of Jesuit’s student-athletes as they anxiously awaited the announcement of the new UIL district alignments for 2016-2018. Every two years, the UIL reclassifies and realigns districts, shuffling the competition for area schools. Jesuit’s 2016 District 9-6A will include Coppell, RISD school's Richardson, JJ Pearce, Richardson Berkner, Lake Highlands, and continue rivalries with...
