ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Katie Jones

Asheboro, girls’ basketball

The Blue Comets have been on an early resurgence this season. Jones is part of the senior class on the team.

Jones was a regular in the rotation a year ago.

Asheboro entered this week with four victories, already within one triumph of last year’s total. The Blue Comets haven’t won more than six games in a season across the past four years.

Jones has also played girls’ soccer for the Blue Comets.
