Clay-Chalkville offensive lineman JT Jones will be one of the leaders to lead the Cougars onto the field Aug. 22, as they hit the road to take on Hueytown.
Jones has been a fixture along the Clay offensive line for several years and will be the anchor once more, as the Cougars look to make another deep run in the state playoffs.
