Gavin Wayne Jones born on December 16th, 1993 in Columbia,Missouri. Is a rare kind of Athelete. He is a former football and baseball player and a currnet reigning MVP Highschool Basketball player.

EARLY YEARS AS A BULLDOG

HARRISBURG BULLDOG 2003-2007

As he continued his young career he would always try and help his basketball team as much as possible. But with a team that isn't as good as he would hope it to be, his team usually ended the season below 500. Gavin says his most memorable time was the 2005 season when the Harrisburg Bulldogs entered Hallsville's 2005 Double Elimination Tournament hoping for their first ever 1st Place Medal. They went undefeated in their first 3 games winning double digits every game defeating Ashland,Sturgeon, and Hallsville. In the Championship it ended up as. Harrisburg Bullsogs vs. Centralia Panthers who were the only two teams that had not yet been beaten. The first game the Bulldogs beat the Panthers by a large number,the second game the Panthers rallied back to win in a stunning 3 point game. The last game was to decide the champion, through the whole game Gavin remembers that it was a back and fourth game but in the end the Harrisburg Bulldogs took the gold winning by only 1 point.

HALLSVILLE INDIANS 2007-present

After Gavin's 2006-2007 season with the Harrisburg Bulldogs his mother decided to pack up and move to a rival town...Hallsville. Starting out the first game against the South Callaway Bulldogs on the bench Jones(#15) had high hopes for his new Purple and Gold dressed Team. After about a minute Coach Daly decided to put in his new Small Forward. Gavin ended the game with only 8 points but his team won by a slim margin. Through the season the Indians had their ups and downs, Gavin says the worst time of the season was in their game versus the Ashland Eagles when the Indians Point Guard Michael Cox(#5) suffered a broken pinky causing a devastating loss for the Indians. So Gavin was put at starting Point Guard to take over the Indian Roster. Jones had his best game during his Indian Rookie season against the Sturgeon Bulldogs at his hometown...Harrisburg. Jones scored 21 of the 23 points,(Matthew Cox(3)scored the other 2 points) in the upsetting 1 point loss to Sturgeon. In the end Hallsville had a 6-7 season leaving Jones with yet another below 500 season.
