Ron, a 1980 graduate of Cape Girardeau Central, still holds school records for points in a game (48) and career (1,556). He led the Tigers to the 1980 Class 4A state championship and went on to play on three Big 8 Conference championship teams at Missouri.
He also had the opportunity — or challenge — of guarding Michael Jordan three times. In the first meeting the Tigers beat North Carolina 64-60 on Nov. 27, 1982, at the Checkerdome in St. Louis. Jordan scored 13 points that night, and there is a 27-second clip on YouTube about that game that labels Jones as a “defensive specialist.”
North Carolina won the next two meetings — 73-58 in the championship game of the 1982 Rainbow Classic and 64-57 in the 1983-84 season opener in Chapel Hill. Jordan scored 19 points in Hawaii and 13 points again at North Carolina.
“Michael took it personal after that first game, but I did get him one time though,” Ron said. “I had a lot of help from my teammates, and I was calling for a lot of help.”
