This spring season, Head Coach Damon Wilson and Assistant Coach Regina Progar led the Jesuit Rangers Volleyball team in a successful season, winning 13 out of the 21 total matches played. The Jesuit Rangers volleyball team captured the title of Regional Champions in the Texas Boys High School Volleyball (T.B.H.S.V.) State Tournament, advancing to the State Semifinals. Ultimately, the Rangers came in third place in the State, beating Summer Creek High School in the T.B.H.S.V. third place playoff match. This culminated a successful season.

Player Reflections

Trey Graves ’26 reflected on the season saying, “This year, we had a record of 13-8 and have been improving so much over the course of the year. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting closer to each of my teammates and growing as a player. I believe that Coach Wilson has helped me become a very well-rounded person on and off the court and is bringing the volleyball program in such a positive direction.”

Justin Pack ’24 added:”This season went way better than we all predicted. It is the first year I truly felt that the volleyball teams were a team and not a club.”
