Jesuit Water Polo in Tournament Play (Jesuit Athletics)

With an already impressive overall performance this year with a record of 17-16, the Rangers have put out a great show in the programs second year within UIL competition. Within conference the team has refined their approach from friendly matches this year to put up a record of 4-1. Each victory has been by a significant margin of at least seven points. The only loss was to local rival Highland park in a very anticipated second matchup following an earlier friendly in which the Rangers took the win 13-12.

“I think we have a good chance of winning our district and making a deep run in the playoffs” – Coach Gall

The success of the team comes from both the hard work and experience of the team, last year they had no seniors, an opportunity that allowed many players to gain more playing time and develop skills for this year. The varsity team continues on their current path they have a prime opportunity to win district this year, and hopefully advance further into the playoffs, fulfilling Coach Gall’s goal for the season.

“I’m proud of the teams performance so far this season and am enthusiastic going forward” – Alex Adee ’25

“The games have been a good opportunity to prove ourselves as a team” – Flyn Hughes ’25

With hopeful prospects for the remainder of the season the team also has an emphasis this year on developing talent within the roster. This focus has led to the fielding of a second Varsity “B” team in multiple tournaments and friendlies with the hopes of maintaining a strong team going into next season despite the graduation of seven seniors, six of whom are starters.

 “[The teams] have gained valuable game experience which will pay off for them as we go through this season and into next. ” – Coach Gall
