Jones High blasted Sanford Seminole 42-0 at the Legacy Classic, driving the Kickoff Classic through a dominant first half and cruising with a mercy-rule running clock as starters rested. The Tigers controlled every phase, piling up yardage and imposing pressure on Seminole’s offense, setting a tone for the preseason showcase.

Dereon Coleman, the Miami commitment, went 8-for-8 for 123 yards with a touchdown, while Larry Miles, Nebraska-bound, produced two rushing TDs and a 60-yard punt-return TD. DJ Hicks added a 53-yard TD catch, Elijah McCluster scored on a short run, and Reggie Harris returned a 38-yard pick-six. Jones rolled 344 yards in the opening half, with the defense clamping Seminole to 95 yards and delivering timely plays, including sacks from Quinton Evans and Savion Brooks and a Harris pick-six. The Tigers’ line and receivers also stepped up, as seniors led the way and newcomers got their first taste of the Legacy Classic spotlight.

The win extended Jones’s edge in the eight-year Legacy Classic series to 7-1, underscoring the program’s growing depth and future prospects. The duo of Coleman and Miles looms as exciting college prospects, while the culture around the Jones dawg position continues to feed into a reputation for creating playmakers. A nod to NFL lineage—Kerby Joseph’s ascent with the Detroit Lions—paints the ceiling for this program: produce elite defensive backs who can impact games at the next level.
