Mountain View High School honored long-time football coach Wayne Jones at Friday’s football game against Poston Butte. The Mountain Lions will henceforth play on Wayne Jones Field. His undefeated 1993 team, 14-0, remains one of the handful of best teams in Southern Arizona history, winning the state championship game 63-32 over Sahuaro. Former MVHS center Wayne Wyatt, who became a starter at Arizona and was a first-team All-Academic selection in the Pac-10 in 1995 and 1996, returned to Tucson to help honor his coach; Wyatt is a dentist in Oklahoma.
