Adverse weather threw a wrench into the start of region play for the Greyhounds last week. Even so, Jones County will go into an adjusted region schedule looking to harness the play that got its offense back on track last week.

A drive back from a postseason game in the southeast part of Georgia can feel long, winding and dark. But the journey back to Gray late Friday through those small towns in South Georgia toward the midstate was a jubilant one for Jones County.

The Greyhounds began region play this past Tuesday at Union Grove with a bit of wind at their back after splitting a pair of games last week. And as gratifying as that span that included an 18-3 rout of Howard last Tuesday was, Jones County also came away from the week seeing a missed opportunity.
