Jadyn Jones-Wilson

The Bulldogs certainly aren’t trying to disguise what they want to do on offense. Over the last four games, Wilson has run the ball 217 times and attempted just 26 passes. The (9-3) Bulldogs surpassed 3,000 rushing yards for the season when they piled up 348 yards on the ground at Central York. A huge part of that running attack is Jadyn Jones. The 215-pound senior finished with 161 yards on 27 carries in the District 3-6A semifinals. Wilson got past the top-seeded Panthers 14-11. Jones told me that the offensive line wanted to run the ball more than they were earlier this season. The fifth-seeded Bulldogs have been able to wear down their opponents and control the clock. They held the ball for nearly 34 minutes against Central York. Jones believes that the work his team has done in the weight room is paying off now, and the Bulldogs are confident that they can beat anyone. I asked Jones what it would mean to win a District championship. He’s well aware that Harrisburg ended Wilson’s season in 2018 and 2019. Jones is averaging 6.6 yards per carry this year. He has 1,264 rushing yards and 13TD. Jadyn gave an injury update on his younger brother, Cam, who has been a dynamic kick returner. Cam also starts at cornerback and wide receiver. The Bulldogs battle the (11-1) Cougars at 1pm on Saturday at Severance Field.
