Jones football coaches have pretty much come to the expectation that the defense is going to win games for the Tigers, at least in the early part of the season.
That was quite evident at Evans on Saturday afternoon in this year's edition of the Soul Bowl. The Jones defense came up with a third-quarter goal-line stand, had seven sacks and added an interception, wreaking havoc on the Trojans' offense in a 12-6 victory.
"I had to do my thing. I had to push the guard back and clog the hole, make a play for our team," said Jones defensive lineman Noah Robinson, a UCF commit.
Robinson had one solo sack, and ganged up with Fred Ards and Dominique Redding on a crucial sack on the first play of a last-ditch fourth-quarter Evans drive with 1:18 left in the game. The loss of six yards on that sack turned out to be quite important as Evans drove down the field inside one minute left in the game, but the Trojans' drive stalled out at the 18-yard line as time expired.
Ards, a Texas A&M commit, had three solo sacks, and safety Rikelson Docteur and linebacker Andre James Jr. also had sacks.
