Jones is a force constantly putting her feet in great position to smack down balls. Jones is tough on slide hits because she'll spike them hard or even tap them back to the middle. Jones is hard to double block let alone solo block because she can hit them through and around blockers. Jones pounds down quickies and overpasses. Jones has great timing on her blocks, is a smooth passer and has nice sinking line drives on her serves. Jones had 129 solo blocks, 17 assisted blocks, 150 kills, 192 digs and 55 aces for Pleasure Ridge Park this past fall.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["401488"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Bobb does well consistently anticipating where balls are headed then squares her body up to make solid passes.
