As the football season reaches its peak, junior standout Trea Jones is making waves on and off the field. Playing as the running back on the varsity football team, Jones has quickly emerged as a key player, contributing to the team’s success with impressive stats and unmatched determination.
Starting his football journey at a young age, Jones recalls his early days playing in local leagues, inspired by watching other athletes. Since then, he’s honed his skills, becoming one of the most reliable players on the roster.

As he reflects on what sparked his love for the game, he describes his favorite moment on the field. He recounts the game that solidified his confidence as a key contributor to the team when his teammates and coaches noticed his dedication.
“That would probably still be last year against Campbell County when I had the 63-yard rushing touchdown,” Jones said.
Balancing football with academics isn’t easy, but Jones has found a way to excel in both areas.
“It’s just hard, you don’t have time for anything else,” Jones said.
