Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Jones quarterback Dereon Coleman woke up from a bit of a nightmare on Wednesday morning.

It was a replay of a play he has been trying to forget since Friday the 13th of December, 2024. A fumble against American Heritage in the Class 4A state title game led to a Jones loss. He said it didn’t scare him, but gave him a reminder.

“It drove me a lot over these past several months and the year it’s been now, to get that off my brain, and I don’t think about it anymore,” Coleman said. “But then I had a dream about that one particular play this morning, and now I know what I need to do.

“I already know what I did and it brought back memories, so now I know I gotta finish the job and be even more ready.”
