“She’s a really good ballahndler, a good defender and she was a good point guard She got injured in her sophomore year and then hurt her other knee last year, so it hurt her time but she still showed up and contributed and gave us some leadership,” said Adams. Lady Pointers’ coach Dave Adams said Jones overcome her injuries and she showed a good work ethic and other intangibles that will help her at the next level.

I got hurt at the end of my senior year so I took (the rest of the season) off to work hard and get ready for college,” Jones said. She said that she’s fully healed and ready to play at 100 percent. Jones was plagued by a couple of knee injuries, one with each knee, her sophomore and junior seasons. I think I should be at least second,” said Jones. I’ve been working had with the girls, seeing how they play and getting to know them. She’s really good, but I think I should be up there. “I know we just got a transfer from Michigan. Shawnee State has added some points guards in their recruiting process and Jones knows she has to work to earn her playing time, but she’s confident in her ability to compete at the next level. But I do want to keep a high GPA and hopefully graduate with honors,” Jones said. I know college is going to be a lot harder and playing sports is going to be harder. “Academically, I would like to keep a high GPA like I did in high school. To see them play like a family I really like that.”Īlthough Jones loves playing basketball, she knows her top priority is getting an education. “They have a really close bond and I like that. It was a lot more fun and the energy is more hype and they’re more like a family than in high school,” said Jones. “I went to watch them play and it’s a different environment. She said they are all committed to playing college basketball and that they take the responsibility serious but at the same time know how to have fun.

Jones has been to some Shawnee State games and she has practiced with the team.
