ARLINGTON -- John Stephen Jones left his legacy on the house his grandfather built.
Jones, the grandson of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, threw for a record 564 yards and four touchdowns including the game-winning touchdown pass with 34 seconds remaining to lift Highland Park to a 53-49 come-from-behind victory over Manvel and back-to-back UIL Class 5A Division I state championships, this time in front of 25,975 fans at AT&T Stadium.
I wouldnt trade this for anything in the world, said Jones, the games Offensive MVP. Im so proud to be a part of this. I cant say enough of how proud I am of this team. They fought to the very end and never gave up. This team is unbelievable.
Manvel (15-1) took a 49-39 lead after Kam Scott returned the kickoff for a state-record 97 yards for a touchdown with 6:27 remaining.

Now that Jones has his opportunity to play at Arkansas, it seems highly likely thats where he will end up. He told SEC Country last spring he would ideally head to Fayetteville after high school.
Yeah, thats my school, for sure, he said. Id like to end up there. If I ever get a chance to play at Arkansas, thats for sure where Id be going.
