Battlers Sign Martinsburg Standout Jarrell Jones

Alderson Broaddus men's basketball team signed Martinsburg HS (WV) all-state player Jarrell Jones. The 6'4" standout for the Bulldogs will bring a tremendous amount of versatility to the Battler squad. As a junior for Martinsburg, Jones averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. He would follow that up his senior campaign by averaging 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Martinsburg advanced to the West Virginia AAA boys state basketball tournament during Jones' junior and senior seasons. Jones has the ability to bring the ball up the court, read screens for an open jumper or attack the rim with a tremendous jump that gets Jones above the rim. He brings another athletic and explosive player that can attack the rim on offensive rebounding opportunities which Alderson Broaddus basketball is known for. Jones shows the versatility to play multiple positions on the floor as his size and athleticism allow him to guard three positions at the Division 2 level. He can run the point or play the wing where he can create off the dribble by breaking a defender down.  Stay tuned to Battler Beat for more on Jarrell Jones in a more in-depth article later in the month.
