ABOUT JESUIT DALLAS
Founded in 1942, Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas is a Catholic, private, independent, all-boys high school. Following the 500 year-old Jesuit tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuit Dallas strives to form young men into leaders who are open to growth, intellectually competent, committed to working for justice, religious, loving, and physically fit. Currently, Jesuit enrolls over 1,100 boys from 170 different middle schools.
Jesuit Dallas Athletics has claimed 127 team state championships dating back to 1954. Most of the titles were won as members of the Texas Christian Interscholastic League (TCIL), a precursor to the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) of which Jesuit was a member until 2000. In 2003, Jesuit Dallas, along with Strake Jesuit (Houston), became the first private schools to be admitted to the University Interscholastic League (UIL), which serves as the athletic governing body for public and charter schools in Texas. Since joining the UIL, Jesuit has captured 77 district championships.
In 2010, the Jesuit Dallas soccer team became the first private school team in the history of the UIL to capture a state championship. The Ranger baseball team captured its first UIL state title in 2016 and soccer added a second UIL crown in 2017. Jesuit rugby won Texas Rugby Union championships in 2001 and 2010, while the lacrosse program has captured four Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) titles (2016, 2017, 2021, 2022). Jesuit hockey began the 2022-23 season as the four-time reigning Texas Amateur Hockey Association (TAHA) Division I Pure State Champions, while the crew program routinely ranks as one of the strongest in the country and has secured seven consecutive berths in the USRowing Youth National Championships.

HEAD COACH BRIAN JONES
Entering his 14th season as the Jesuit Dallas baseball head coach, Brian Jones’ excellent track record at the helm of the Ranger program has propelled Jesuit to consistent success and the program’s first University Interscholastic League (UIL) 6A State Championship in 2016. Jones enters the 2023 season with a 324-103-9 record at Jesuit, an overall record of 489-206-9, and a 138-14-0 record against district opponents.
In 2022, Jesuit Dallas advanced to the postseason for the 12th consecutive year, capturing its 11th straight bi-district championship with a two-game series sweep over Arlington and finishing the year with a 23-9 record. The 2021 season saw the Rangers go undefeated in District 7-6A, capturing the eighth district title under Jones. That unit was led by Jordan Lawlar ’21, who became the third player under the tutelage of Coach Jones to be named Gatorade Texas Player of the Year before being selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the sixth overall pick of the 2022 Major League Baseball (MLB) Amateur Draft.
In 2016, Jones led Jesuit to a 36-8-2 record and the UIL state title with a 6-2 victory over San Antonio Johnson on June 11. The historic win marked the first baseball state championship for a private institution at any level of the UIL. Jones concluded the season by earning USA Today/ Family Insurance and Texas Sports Writers Association (TSWA) Texas Coach of the Year honors, and was named District Coach of the Year for the seventh time.
The Rangers’ 2016 lineup was anchored by Kyle Muller ’16, the consensus National Player of the Year. Muller was drafted by the Atlanta Braves with the 44th pick of the MLB Amateur Draft and made his major league debut against the Boston Red Sox on June 16, 2021.
Jones led the Rangers to their first state tournament appearance in team history during the 2015 season, a year that saw the Blue and Gold finish with a 35-4-2 record, a 14-0 mark in district play, and a No. 3 national ranking heading into the state tournament. A 13-1 win over MacArthur marked a personal milestone for Jones on April 26, 2015, as he captured his 300th victory as a baseball head coach. Jones would add his 400th career victory on Friday, May 11, 2018 with a 5-4 win over Oak Ridge in the UIL Area Round.
The impressive list of players that have competed under the leadership of Coach Jones include numerous NCAA Division I players and a breakout star in MLB. Jones coached 2011 Gatorade Texas Player of the Year and current Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell ’11, who would be drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second round of the MLB Amateur Draft with the No. 61 pick and finish third in the National League Rookie of the Year vote after breaking the National League record for most home runs by a switch-hitting rookie.
Jones enjoyed success on the diamond from a young age, as he was a member of the AABC Sandy Koufax National Champions in 1982. Attending W.T. White High School, Jones was a four-time first-team all-district pick, received Dallas Morning News Sophomore of the Year honors and was the area’s leading hitter as a junior. He attended Northwood University, where he was picked to play in the 1989 Junior College All-Star game.
A member of the American Baseball Coaches Association, Texas High School Coaches Association and United Baseball Club. Jones is a former president of the North Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association and was voted the regional director for the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association (THSBCA) in January of 2016. Jones is the father of two boys: Tyler and Tanner ’20.

Every good baseball program seems to have a “constant” that adds to the game experience. For Jesuit Dallas, that constant is Chris Martinez ’78, who has been the voice of Jesuit Dallas baseball for 22 years and the statistician for the Rangers’ football radio broadcast team since its inception in 1998.

In 2010, Chris was honored by the Jesuit Dallas athletics department with the Gold Ranger Award. Presented annually at the Jesuit Dallas Blue & Gold Banquet, the Gold Ranger award recognizes a Jesuit letterman who has brought honor to Jesuit through contributions that have had lasting and positive effects on his fellow citizens and who has lived and performed as a true man for others.
Martinez is a mortgage loan officer with Planet Home Lending and has provided mortgages to many in the Jesuit Dallas community.
A baseball trivia connoisseur since childhood, Martinez is well known for his famous, middle of the third inning trivia question. One of the long-standing traditions that make Jesuit Dallas baseball incredibly special, Martinez is a true “Man for Others.”
