Suffolk to the Pros: Myles Jones
VICE Sports featured a story about him with the headline, “Myles Jones is the Future of Lacrosse.”
Jones wrote a story for The Players Tribune titled, “The Face of the Game.”
It’s clear that Myles Jones is on another level as an ambassador of his sport.
The first overall pick in the 2016 Major League Lacrosse Draft and Walt Whitman High School alum is truly one of the faces of lacrosse. From the U.S. Team, which he should be playing for at the World Championships this summer, to winning a National Championship at Duke, to his dominant play in the MLL, Jones is a star.
At Duke, he anchored the midfield for four years and put up more than 60 points in three of his four seasons with the Blue Devils. He also won the Lt. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Award and was a Tewaaraton Finalist in 2015 and 2016.
In a four-year varsity career at Whitman, Jones recorded 272 points. He as an All-American in lacrosse, All-Long Island and 1,000-point scorer in basketball and All-County as a quarterback on the football team. He is one of the best pure three-sport athletes Suffolk County and Long Island has ever seen and he hasn’t even reached his prime in lacrosse yet.

Root for Suffolk Natives in 2018 Winter Olympics
The 2018 Winter Olympics are here and we have three main reasons to watch: John Daly, Matt Mortensen, and Justin Krewson.
Daly, a Smithtown native, is the Olympic veteran of the bunch. Competing in his third Games, he is hoping to best his 15th place finish in the skeleton event at Sochi in 2014.
Mortensen, from Huntington Station, competes in luge doubles, and is making his second appearance after placing 14th at Sochi.
Eastport’s Justin Krewson will make his Olympic debut in the luge.
