“We are excited to welcome Coach Jones to the Patriots,” said Franks. “He comes from a successful flag football program at Auburn High School and comes to us with a plan on how to build our young women into successful student-athletes on and off the field. I look forward to working with them as we continue to build our Patriots flag football program.”
Jones comes to Northwest Shoals with experience as a collegiate athlete and high school coach.
