  In their last game on January the 23rd, the Jesuit Dallas varsity soccer team squared off against a strong Sachse team. The Rangers began the game quite slowly, allowing easy opportunities. Sachse started the game off by slotting the soccer ball past the distracted Jesuit Defense, to make the first goal of the game. Sachse was beating the Rangers  1-0...
Marching on to an unfamiliar field, blinded by yellow beams of light, the Jesuit JV and Varsity soccer teams took on Richardson in away games on Friday the 27th. Now generally, away games can be somewhat disconcerting, however the alien surroundings didn't seem to faze the Jesuit teams as they both pulled in wins, JV 2-0, and Varsity 3-0. The...
On February 13th the Rangers played a tough Lake Highlands team, with the hope of continuing a winning streak. Lake Highlands and Jesuit played very defensive first halves. Jesuit had small bursts at the goal but was quickly turned around by a powerful Lake Highlands defense. Likewise, Lake Highlands would turn the ball over to Jesuit whenever they attempted to...
On January 10, Jesuit held its 31st Meintser Soccer Tournament. As usual, Jesuit rolled over the competition to kick off the 2013 season, while still honoring a Legend in soccer history.   Every year Jesuit invites teams from around the metroplex to play in the Meintser Tournament which first started in 1982 to honor Henricus "Henk" Meintser. Henk Meintser was born...

With six teams participating, Jesuit went into the tournament with a rather good chance of winning it all. A two bracket competition, the tournament ran on a 10-point system based off of record and goal differential. The six schools that participated...
Now, to all of those people out there wondering, "Joe, when are you going to start talking about basketball stuff and intramural stuff? The season starts soon!" Spoiler alert: intramurals/JBA/JBDL was canceled and it's not happening this year. Thanks for that, COVID. Anyway, I may or may not have been assigned a new beat over the weekend: soccer! So...
This past month, the Jesuit Soccer program teamed up with the North Texas Food Bank to combat hunger in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The Rangers sponsored a canned food drive at Jesuit and worked at North Texas Food Bank sorting and boxing groceries for struggling families. This annual tradition for the team began last year when team parents and Coach...
In their last game on Friday the 10th, the Jesuit JV and Varsity soccer teams marched onto the foreign field, the home of the Berkner Rams, and prepared to finish the season with a bang. Both teams have had a successful season, avoiding complacency and laziness. Instead, they kept level heads and played with integrity. The JV teams played first and...
