March 30, 2008 RANGERS SURVIVE CHARGERS SCARE
Playoff teams whittled down in weekend play
The Jesuit Rangers, top-ranked 5A boys’ team, got a dose of truth serum Friday when the upset-minded Keller Central Chargers held a 2-1 edge well into the second half and had the Rangers tied up 2-2 until just 75 seconds were left in the game. That’s when Alexis Reyes threaded a thunderbolt shot between Central goalie Blake Jett and the near post on the dribble about 12 yards out to the left of the post. He got a perfectly weighted pass from Ranger midfielder Ian Kalis in the middle to his right flank position. He took a couple of steps and fired in the game-winner in a 3-2 result for Jesuit.
