Tough weekend for Tyus Jones as Apple Valley, Duke fall

It was an interesting weekend for Wolves guard Tyus Jones.

Not necessarily great, but interesting. While he and the Wolves were splitting a two-game road trip, Jones was following both his younger brother, Tre, in the Minnesota high school tournament and watching his former team, Duke, in the NCAA tournament.

“It wasn’t as good a weekend as I’d have hoped,’’ he said. “But it happens.’’

First Tre Jones helped Apple Valley advance to the state title game, only to lose in the closing seconds to Cretin-Derham Hall. Sunday he watched Duke lose in overtime to Kansas with a Final Four spot on the line.
