As a point guard, senior Kamryn Jones is the facilitator and leader for the Salina Central Mustangs, and he is prepared to lead his team to a winning season this year
Last year the Mustangs finished 6-15 and that finish gave Jones a drive and a goal for this season.
“My motivation for this season is what happened in the previous years, I can’t let it happen again and won’t. Losing is unacceptable to me,” Jones said. “Before the season I was in the gym daily getting shots up making sure my shot was right. I was also working on my ball handling making sure I was prepared for this year.”
On the court you have to have leadership as a point guard/primary ball handler and that’s what head coach Chris Fear expects from Jones throughout the season.
“This is my first season coaching Kamryn. He is a quality young man. He has been a senior leader for our team and is off to an excellent start to his senior season. I am excited to see how he progresses this season,” Fear said.
Jones has also spent this offseason putting in work wherever and whenever he can, Jones knows that’s the main difference between a good and great basketball player.
“When you can’t get the best training or go to the best camps you have to put work in on your own. That is the most important factor that ties in with basketball. It’s all about how much you put into it,” Jones said.
Jones’ future plans for after high school are not set in stone yet, but one thing Jones knows for sure is that he will play for however long he can.
“I want to play for 6 years after high school. I’m not completely sure on a career as of now but basketball will be in my life after high school without a doubt,” Jones said.
