Yesterday marked a bittersweet celebration for the Jack Yates Lions Boys Basketball Team who have been awarded the Class 3A State Championships for the last 2 years. Dallas Madison had to forfeit because of an ineligible player. This is good news for the Lions, however it came on the wake of the funeral of one of the Yates basketball players who played on those teams. Artreal Jones is reported to have collapsed and died after playing in a pick-up basketball game. He had a known heart condition. Sad indeed, that this young man has passed away just when life was beginning for him and while we congratulate the Yates Lions, our thoughts and prayers remain with the family of Artreal Jones.
