Jones helps Warriors fend off Hempstead charge

Sat - 22 Feb Written by Tom Fruehling

Tiny track star Jasmyne Jones took just one shot from the floor Saturday night in the Washington girls 70-56 Class 5A regional semifinal win over Dubuque Hempstead.

But it was a big one.

Down 17 points and looking all but done at the start of the third quarter, the visiting Mustangs sprinted all the way back to within 50-46 early in the fourth.

But sandwiched between two 3-pointers by Dani Franklin, Jones swished from behind the arc her only attempt of the night.

When Kiki West-Doyle tipped in her own miss seconds later, the Warriors were suddenly back up by 15.
