Mckenna Jones is a well-known athlete at Lowry. Jones plays a variety of sports including soccer, basketball, and softball. She is a strong competitor in all three sports. Her soccer coach Ryan Abbott chose her for Athlete of the Week because of her abilities.
“She played really well yesterday scoring three goals and was making great runs up the line,” said Abbott.
They played against Battle Mountain’s varsity team and won 6-2, by the end of the game Battle Mountain tired out and Lowry was able to slow down the ball and was able to connect their passes.
“McKenna has proven to be a great team leader throughout the season and was recently promoted to a full-time captain for our JV team. Her strongest qualities on the soccer field are her ball control skills and her ability to see runs off the ball (she knows where to go to receive a pass),” said Abbott.
