The Strake Jesuit Crusaders outlasted the St. Thomas Eagles, 28-17, in the first game of the season.

St. Thomas, a TAPPS high school, were up 14-10 on their UIL 6A foe. However, Jesuit running back—Dylan Campbell—broke off a 50-yard run with 4:15 left in the first half, taking the lead and momentum from the Eagles for the rest of the game.
