    The Lady Greyhounds season of youth and mounting injuries took another turn last week in a loss to Union Grove.

    While JCHS was able to hang with a Wolverines team that as of this week was unbeaten in region play, losing 3-0, another player left the match with an injury, further requiring the Lady Hounds to move players into roles that were unexpected as the season began.

    Jones County fell 10-1 to second-place Ola on Friday. Despite the tough road, hope of a return to the state tournament was not fully evaporated for the Lady Hounds on Friday. JCHS hosted Dutchtown on Tuesday, and a win there as well as against either Eagles Landing or Warner Robins would all but earn JCHS the fourth seed in the region. Jones County (2-9-1) plays both Warner Robins and Eagles Landing on the road with a home match set for March 30 against Houston County to close out the season.
