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...
      Ricky Bobby once said, "If you're not first you're last." Last weekend, the Jesuit crew team took this quote to heart after traveling up to Oklahoma City for the OKC Crew Invitational, marking the first of many major events the Rangers will compete in over the 2016 school year.

The preparation. The canvas.  These are all worthless without the first sketch, the first stroke, the first click, the starting points to creating masterpieces.  The only difference between a good artist...
      On February 18th and several days following, eight Jesuit Dallas juniors embarked on a mission and experienced things that most people won't experience otherwise.
