Jones Named Player Of The Year

The NULC Knights received news that one of its family members has been awarded England's Basketball Division 4 player of the year for the Midlands Conference.
Kieran Jones was voted in by EB and other coaches from around the Midlands Division.
Jones who is a Birmingham native is in his first year with NULC Knights had this to say, "This past year with Newcastle Under Lyme Knights Basketball team has been, by far the toughest and most eye opening year in my life as a basketball player to date.
Coach Jamison has dared me to challenge myself with every pass, every dribble, every shot and every decision I make.

He will accept nothing less from me and my team than 100% effort.
I guess his drive and determination to be the best is just rubbing off on us!"
Jones was the driving force on a Knights team that won a league championship and also made 2 semi-final appearances all in his first year.
Coach Jamison had this to say about Jones," He comes and puts in the work everyday. I am a very tough coach to play for but I think he now understands why I am so tough on him and all of my players."
