It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Jones had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the Lecanto Panthers 42-7. Considering the Fightin' Tigers have won six matchups by more than 21 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Jones was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 231 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September.
Several Panthers players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Jt Tipton, who threw for 282 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.8 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 45 yards. Another pass catcher making a difference was Kwauntace Joseph, who picked up 115 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Jones pushed their record up to 11-0 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 42.0 points per game. As for Lecanto, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-5.
Jones has the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Zephyrhills at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Zephyrhills' defense has only allowed 14.4 points per game this season, so Jones' offense will have their work cut out for them. Lecanto does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
