Julius and Thomas Jones Honored

Today in Wise County, VA (Big Stone Gap is in Wise County) Julius and Thomas were honored before they held their annual football camp. They received keys to the city as well as having their HS jerseys retired. Today was also Julius and Thomas Jones day for the entire county.

Julius and Thomas both had a little spot where they were interviewed and talked about the notion of with this area being so small, no one thinks they can leave and become something, but they proved that notion wrong.

I guess seeing as they got treated like mega-celebs proves that not many comes from this area and make it as far as the Jones' have.

Also noticed that Julius looks a bit bigger in the upper body, mainly through the shoulders.

I kinda wish I had known about this before, would've been nice to meet Julius and Betty again as well as meeting both the Thomas' for the first time.
