Jones (6-2, 210,) had a stellar individual effort for Manchester in the team’s 55-54 upset win. The veteran signal caller from the University of Toledo, in his fourth af2 campaign, filled in for injured starter James Pinkney and led the Wolves past the favored Blizzard in just his third start of 2008. Jones completed 24-of-36 passes (66.7 percent) for 194 yards and six touchdowns with one interception. He also scored two rushing touchdowns. Jones was clutch in the late moments as he threw a 17-yard TD pass with one second left to pull team within one point, 54-53, and then converted the game-winning 2-point conversion run.
This is the fifth Offensive Player of the Week Award of Jones’ career and his first of 2008. During the Wolves regular season, wide receiver and linebacker Bradly Chavez was named the league's JLS Ironman of the week twice and he was also voted to the All-af2 First Team.
The Wolves will be back on the road again this Saturday night as they take on the Tennessee Valley Vipers in the conference finals. Kickoff is slated for 8:30 PM (ET) and the Wolves drive to the ArenaCup may be heard on WFEA AM 1370 in Manchester or viewed on NIFTYtv.com
