Two of the single greatest high school plays I ever personally witnessed came against Pburg in those epic battles Jones' and Howard's Senior season.

One was the stiff arm by Doug Howard on Joe Blackburn. I have NEVER seen a stiffarm like that on ANY level of football. He literally knocked Blackburn 5 yards off the ball and it was a critical play in the game.

The other was also a critical play and probably the single greatest testament to Jones' speed. Pburg had a perfect playcall for a HB Pass and Belfry was burnt! The WR was literally open by 20 yards. Once Jones recognized the pass he sprinted back as the ball was in the air to close the gap and swat the ball away at the very last second. Otherwise that was a sure TD.

Yeah that is a Stiffarm i will never forget. Joe was no joke either. One of the top players around in his time.
