seems to be the tempo style. He’s often at the front of Dale’s pressure defense, causing havoc. Which leads to layups and shots at the rim. Where he was automatic on the day, going 6 of 6 from the field, finishing with 16 points.
The Pirates are the heavy favorites in Class 2A and with Jones as a tempo setter they’re unlikely to take any team for granted as they make their run for a third straight State Title.

The fellow senior starter for Dale, Jones matched the intensity and grit from Forysthe. He flew all over the floor for loose balls and was often tasked with the difficult task of trying to slow down Montonati. On the offensive end, he scrapped his way to big points in the second half with putbacks and hustle in transition. Just like Forysthe, Jones played with a fearlessness that allowed the Pirates to compete with the bigger Rams.

Along with Forsythe, Jones is the only returning double digit scorer for Dale. He averaged 11.9 points per game and is a Swiss army of knife for the Pirates. He has good body control on drives, is a smart cutter and can hit the occasional three. His strong frame allows him to get after it on the defensive end as well.
