With a lot of really good athletes in the area, Kamryn Jones from Salina Central is right up there with the best of the best with his quick first step and high jumping ability.
Jones is a senior point guard for the Mustangs who is a top track athlete in the state, running the 100 and 200 during the spring.
The senior has been playing basketball since he was four years old and has never lost his love, so naturally, as a senior, he is ready to finish out his high school career the right way.
“My personal goals for this year are 20 plus points per game, four plus assists per game and five plus rebounds per game,” Jones said. “Another goal is for first team all-state as well as first team all-league. And I would like to make it to state for my senior year since I have had a rough past few years.”
The rough couple of years Jones is talking about are the last couple years for the Mustangs in which they have finished 5-16 and 6-15.
To fix that and better the team this year, Jones has stepped into a leadership role.
“As a leader this year, I will facilitate the floor on both offense and defense,” Jones said. “I will be our starting point guard so I will hold my team accountable from the start and make sure everyone is on the same page.”
