ROONIE JONES
High School: Las Vegas ('98)
Where he is now: University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Class: Junior
Sport: Basketball
Currently: Jones, a 5-foot-9 guard, has played in all 20 games for the Panthers, starting 13 and averaging 23.8 minutes, 14.1 points and 2.5 assists. His game-high 19 points helped UWM to a 66-48 win over Detroit last Saturday, vaulting the Panthers (12-8, 7-1) into first place in the Horizon League. Jones has played in all 77 contests in his three seasons at the school, starting every game as a sophomore and coming off the bench in all 28 games last year.
Looking back: A deadly long-range shooter, Jones led the Wildcats to the 4A Southern Zone title and an appearance in the 4A state championship game -- a contest they lost to Valley -- as a senior. He averaged 19.5 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds in his final season, earning a spot on the Sun's 1998 all-state first team.
