The Bobcats, 2-0, open up South Division play this week with their first road game of the season. They travel to face the Co-Lin Community College Wolves in a 7 p.m. Thursday game at Wesson. Co-Lin has struggled so far, dropping its first two games of the year.
But, Flowers knows the Bobcats cannot relax, especially since it’s a division game.
“We have to win those division games,” he said. “We are going to try and come out like we did for the first game and not the second game. We just need to play hard, give it everything we’ve got and, hopefully, come out with a win.”
Flowers has enjoyed his time at Jones. He said he would not trade it for anything.
“I have met a bunch of people over here,” he said. “All of the teachers are great. They help you anytime you need it. It’s better than any other school I’ve ever heard about. Everybody wants to come to school here, so I guess that says it better than anything.
“I just love it here.”
Flowers also has the unique experience of having his head coach, Eddie Pierce, serve as his position coach in the defensive line. He credits Pierce with making him a better person, as well as a better football player.
“Coach Pierce is great,” said Flowers. “If you are going to play for Jones, you are going to work hard and he works us hard. He is a great guy, on and off the field. He lets us know what is right and what is wrong. He talks to us about the Bible, too.
“Coach Pierce stresses education. I feel like he is helping me to be a better man.”
