Sports
N' Stuff - Special Guest - Kari Jones
We
had the great opportunity once again to have a special guest on our Sports
N' Stuff program. We call her Coach Jones and to the rest of you, you may
call her Kari Jones. Coach Jones is the epitome of what a true athlete,
coach, and mentor is. Many people say it's the love of the game it’s the
passion that drives her. Well, if you've ever had the gracious opportunity
to have Coach Jones as your mentor, teammate, or as your coach you
understand what hard work really is! On and off the court she always strived
to keep your head in the game of 'life', it was easy to give up but she
helped you understand that success and becoming great was not easily
obtained; you had to learn that time, hard work, and perseverance were the
things that were going to help you obtain success. She was and will continue
to be one of the "Greatest", with holding the record with most field goals
in one game at 28; in 1977 she was named the 1A state player of the year and
Kansas Female Athlete of the Year; she led Skyline to the 1974 and 1977
state crowns; she held the 1A high jump mark from 1977-1993. Those alone are
just a few of the merits Coach Jones has to her name. So Coach Jones a thank
you is what we bid you for all your continued success and hard work, you
have forever changed the lives of many students and athletes! Thank You…
