Jones to leave Tooele
Tooele High School football coach Andru Jones announced Monday night he would not return next season as Tooele’s football coach.
Jones will take his skills to Viewmont High School where he will be announced as the head football coach on Wednesday.
“I’m still a little heartbroken about leaving,” Jones said in a text message this morning. “I’m sad, nervous and excited. It’s been a roller coaster the last couple of days.”
Jones coached at THS for three seasons. Tooele finished 7-3 this year and hosted a state playoff game for the first time in several years. Box Elder edged Tooele 22-14 in that game.
“It was an amazing three years,” Jones said.
