Kari Jones will bring Division I experience to the
Yellowjackets after playing two seasons at Portland
State University. A 2000 graduate of Hermston High
School in Oregon, Jones was named Portland State’s
Most Inspirational Player in her freshman season
after playing in 43 games for the Vikings. She
averaged 0.81 kills per game as a true freshman and
followed that with 1.55 kills and 0.45 blocks per
game during her sophomore campaign. Jones redshirted
last season, leaving her with two years of
eligibility for the Yellowjackets. At Hermiston HS,
Jones was a two-time Intermountain Conference Player
of the Year after guiding the Bulldogs to
back-to-back league championships. She earned first
team all-state and all-region honors as a senior in
1999 and second team all-state recognition as a
junior in 1998. An all-around athlete, Jones was
also named to all-state honorable mention teams in
basketball and track. |
