Billingsley Bears football has struggled, but coach Lanny Jones thinks they can turn that around. Recent 7-on-7 results support his optimism.
Billingsley football has struggled the past two years. However, third-year head coach Lanny Jones thinks they finally have what it takes to turn things around.
The Bears gone from zero to 100 in the weight room. Plus, his son, quarterback Landon Jones, will be leading the team as a senior. There’s a lot to be optimistic about. “We’ve been able to be successful in 7-on-7s this year,” Lanny Jones said. “Which doesn’t mean anything to do with football, but it is a self-confidence thing. To know that we’ve kind of got our brains beaten in the past two summers going to play in all these colleges and playing all the big schools and then kind of having the tables turned this year where we’ve won a lot of those games.”
Landon Jones said he sees himself as a dual-threat quarterback. A lot of the plays the Bears run have an option to be a run play, but they can turn into pass plays. “My receiver that is here today, Kyle Boice, he led in receiving last year in 1A football,” Landon Jones said. “I led in passing in 1A football regular season.”“We’ve grown with our coach a lot,” he said, “because this will be his third year with us and we’ve just really gotten to know him a lot better than what we have before.”
