Jones is on a roll when it comes to digs, as she's now had 14 or more in each of the last five games she's played dating back to last season. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Head, who had 11 digs and three assists.
Looking ahead, Lone Star will challenge Plano at 12:30 p.m. on Friday. McKinney has already played their next game (against Reagan), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
