Hard work typically comes with a reward.

The prize for Debrionna Jones was a college basketball scholarship.

School Communications Director Mike Hutchens said Jones has signed a letter of intent to continue her hoop career at the University of Tennessee Southern.

The two-sport Lady Tornado standout was surrounded by family, teammates, and coaches Friday afternoon while making her next-level plans official.

She then went out and scored a career-high 20 points and yanked down 10 rebounds to help Union City beat Lake County that night.

The 5-10 senior is averaging a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds this season, while shooting 46 percent from the field.

She’ll become a part of the University of Tennessee Southern program formerly known as Martin Methodist until joining the University of Tennessee system in 2021.

The Firehawks compete as a member of the NAIA Mid-South Conference and are currently 6-6 (5-3 in conference play) under first-year head coach Ross James.
