The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 23.3 points, 10 rebounds 7.4 assists and 3.6 steals per game during the 28-game regular season.

A three-year varsity starter, Jones was selected a member of the All-State Tournament Team as both a freshman and sophomore, and was a member of the USA Basketball Under-16 team that won the 2015 FIBA Americas U-16 Championship.

Off the court, Jones maintains a 3.57 grade-point average in the classroom and volunteers as a youth basketball coach in an elementary school literacy outreach program and through his church youth group, according to a news release.

As player of the year, Jones will be able to select a youth sports organization to receive a $1,000 grant as part of the Gatorade Play It Forward program.

He will also have the opportunity to compete for an additional $10,000 spotlight grant by writing a brief essay explaining why his selected organization deserves additional support.

Tre Jones is the younger brother of Apple Valley alum and current Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones. Check out what he had to say about his younger brother below:
