It has turn a generational thing during Pennsbury.
When one good epoch ends, another Division I-caliber actor seems to come in a few years after and lift on a legacy.
Torrian Jones left and Jason Vegotsky filled a purpose of standout. After Vegotsky over for Bucknell, Lavoy Allen arrived. When Allen was withdrawal for Temple, and eventually a NBA, Dalton Pepper took over as a large male in orange and black.
And a few years after Pepper started his college career during West Virginia and Temple, Cameron Jones has come along to assistance lead Pennsbury behind to a tip row of District One basketball.

It is not a new respect for a family. Torrian Jones — who won Courier Times Player of a Year honors in 1999-2000 before streamer to Notre Dame — is Cameron Jones’ cousin.
“Cam grew adult in a basketball family and has worked on his diversion from a time he was a small kid,” Pennsbury manager Bill Coleman said. “And his family is so good since they will do whatever they need to do in sequence to put Cam in a best mark to attain since they know how most he loves a game.”
In 29 games, Jones strike 92 3-pointers and shot 42 percent from a margin overall. Those are a glamor numbers. But Jones’ diversion softened and was clear in other numbers.
He had 167 rebounds from a ensure mark — an normal of 5.7 per game. He had 67 assists even yet he wasn’t essentially a indicate guard. His 49 steals spoke to a alleviation in his play during a defensive end, a hit that had formerly accompanied his game.“When we unequivocally indispensable a stop and indispensable someone to play a guy, Cam played him,” Coleman said. “That was underestimated by a lot of people.
“And when we indispensable someone to hoop a round down a stretch, he was a man that we felt unequivocally gentle giving a round to.”
Jones is removing early sniffs from Patriot League schools. Temple is also interested. That list might urge as he goes by a AAU circuit this summer.
