When Colerain football coaches called him last February, Sean Jones figured it was a routine meeting. Instead, they told him Mike Ferris was giving up football to concentrate on basketball, and Jones was going to be the starting quarterback for the 2000 season. He had reason to be. Playing quarterback at Colerain means you are the offense.
Every play depends on a split decision at the line.
Colerain, one of the few teams in the area to run the triple option, can't have a good team without a good quarterback. I semifinals against Upper Arlington Saturday at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. The coaches were confident Jones could be good. We saw that last year when he played wing back. Getting that game experience was also important.
