It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Jones can now relate to. They were just a hair shy of victory on Wednesday and fell 9-8 to the Lane Tech Champions. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Eagles of the 12-6 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture two weeks ago.
Jones' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Alison Kinnerk, who threw for 272 yards and a touchdown, and Tory Smith, who picked up 108 receiving yards and a touchdown. Smith also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending two passes.
Even if they lost, Jones' defense still kept up the pressure with five sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Lucy Paskiewscz.
With the defeat, Jones broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 14-6. As for Lane Tech, the victory was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 19-4.
Jones does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Lane Tech has already played their next contest, a 20-6 loss against Guilford on the 18th.
