Before suiting up for Mitty, Jones did quite well at the U16 USA trials in 2015 as an 8th grader. I think she was one of just three or four 8th graders "still alive" at one point during the cuts, and I believe only one 8th grader advanced beyond that point. Cal-Hi Sports said Haley Jones was runner-up for their state FOY award behind Windward's Charisma Osborne. However, Cal-Hi Sports definitely gives the award to the rookie they feel had the best season, irrespective of how they project their potential as a college recruit (which of course is some time off). Hence, Josetta Fatuesi now at Utah was actually their FOY for that loaded California c/o 2014. Our KC Waters won it the year before.
