Harding tops Stars
FORT WAYNE - South Adams High School's volleyball team lost 25-10, 25-16, 25-9 Thursday to the Harding Hawks.
The loss dropped the Starfires to 3-22 on the season.
SAHS won the junior varsity match, 25-16, 25-10.
Jones is new SA coach

Jones was an assistant girls basketball coach at Bellmont, his alma mater, last season. He has also coached at Garrett and Dwenger, as well as Indiana Tech.
He played professionally in Hong Kong and Turkey for three seasons following a career that included two Big Ten championships at Purdue. He was an Indiana All-Star, a McDonald's All American and the runner-up for Indiana's Mr. Basketball Award during his senior season.
