How Archbishop Mitty, Stanford alum Haley Jones is finding her WNBA groove

SAN FRANCISCO – After stepping away from Friday’s postgame news conference at Chase Center, Dallas Wings forward Haley Jones disappeared from view.

No, the third-year pro did not hop on the team bus with superstar teammate Paige Bueckers to quickly leave the San Francisco arena after the Valkyries triumphed 86-76.

Jones simply walked back toward the court and then into a crowd of 150-plus friends and family, all ready to embrace the Santa Cruz native after she had played her first pro basketball game in NorCal.
