Indiana Jones Dazzles in Kennedy Catholic Win

Jones rushed for 202 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Jones is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Auburn Riverside on Saturday. When Jones last faced the Ravens back in October of 2023, he rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
