Scott County sheriff Mike Lee confirmed earlier in the night that a Lake senior was killed near the intersection of Old Highway 80 and Johnson Town Rd.
The incident is under investigation and being handled by the Scott County Sheriff's Office.
At approximately 8 p.m. on Thursday night, Lake coach Tate Hanna tweeted a photo of Jones holding a Scott County Farm Bureau Player of the week shirt and said “I will never understand!!! He was a good dude!!! Love you #3.”
At approximately 10 p.m., Lake announced that Friday night’s division 5-2A contest with Philadelphia had been canceled.
