Jones ready to parlay successful summer


2014 Jonee Jones wasn't the first option for DFW 2013 while she was on the floor, nor the second , third or even fourth times. You have to remember that the team had Jewel Angelo, Micarah Malone and Mackenzie May, all capable scorers from the 2013 class. Angelo and Malone led St Pius to one of the private school state Final Fours while May helped do the same thing with Barbers Hill in 4A and they put together an admirable showing at the Big State Flava Jam


Nevertheless she chose her moments carefully and did some of the things that don't always  show up in the box score a lot of folks worry about however those little things helped her team become successful, which is probably what she'll have to do on her already loaded Manvel squad .

Maybe I should have called them super loaded because they were loaded before the addition of a couple of new players, Angelo being one of them along with Rangie Bessard, not to mention two of the top players from the 2014 and 2015 classes, Brianna Turner and Jordan Hosey.

Jones caught my eye while she was still in middle school and although her name may not pop up in the box score a lot this year, she'll play an integral part on the team many consider, including me, to be the team to beat in R3
