Cam Jones-Wilson

Cam Jones has 14 touchdowns and it’s still September. The Holy Cross commit is certainly enjoying his senior season at Wilson. He replied, “I’m having a lot of fun. That’s kind of what this year is about. You gotta get as much fun out of it as you can.” The Bulldogs’ last four opponents didn’t have any fun. Wilson has won its first two league matchups by a combined score of 84-19. Jones reached the end zone four times at Reading. He got back there three times in a 36-13 victory against Cedar Crest on Friday. The Class 6A all-state selection put the (4-1) Bulldogs on top 15-0 in the opening 13 and a-half minutes with a pair of touchdown runs and a 2-point conversion. Jones went untouched off right tackle on his second score from 27 yards away. He gave credit to the offensive line. “It was amazing. [Coach] Dahms got them a little fired up. [He] told them to come out and pound them so we did. They came out to play. I can’t thank them any more for that,” said Jones. Wilson outgained the Falcons 395-to-177. Cedar Crest has lost 19 straight in the series. The Bulldogs ran for 267 yards with Jones averaging 14 yards a pop. He electrified the crowd at John Gurski Stadium with a 48-yard touchdown grab midway through the third quarter. Jones spun out of a tackle over the middle while palming the football and raced down the left sideline to give Wilson a 29-7 edge. He finished with eight carries for 113 yards. Jones added three receptions for 54 yards. Tommy Hunsicker also had a big night. The junior quarterback was 8-of-12 for 127 yards and 3TD. Eddie Case, a 6’3, junior, made a terrific diving catch for a 35-yard score on the Bulldogs’ first drive of the second half. Hunsicker found Brady Kline on a shovel pass for a 5-yard touchdown midway through the fourth period. Jones thinks the 210-pound sophomore tight end has a bright future. “He has a lot of potential. His hands are getting a lot better and his blocking is getting better,” stated Jones. The 5’11, 185-pound WR/CB/KR also likes what he’s seeing from Hunsicker. “He’s progressed a lot. Now he’s settled in. He has a couple of starts under his belt. What makes him even better is the fact that Adam Woods is coming to practice every day, and they’re still competing for the spot,” said Jones. Hunsicker ran ten times for 81 yards versus the (2-3) Falcons. Nick Fiorini chipped in with 44 yards on eight touches. Jones didn’t have any punt returns on Friday, but he did go 43 yards on a kickoff return. Jones has only returned four punts this season. He took three of them to the house! Ten of his touchdowns have come on the ground this year. Starting running back Cleveland Harding has missed three games with injuries. Jones and Harding will be in the backcourt together when basketball season arrives. For now, they’re focused on Saturday’s rivalry game at Gov. Mifflin. The Mustangs beat the Bulldogs 42-14 a season ago.
