Methodist Athletics Hall of Fame
Greg Jones was a basketball player for the Monarchs from 1971-1975. Jones, whose jersey was retired in 1995, was the first All-American in the history of Methodist (NAIA Honorable Mention 1974). He also was the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year (1974), a three-time All-DIAC selection, and a three-time school and conference leader in rebounding and scoring. In addition, Jones teamed with fellow Methodist Hall of Famer Elton Stanley in leading the Monarchs to DIAC championships in 1972, 1974 and 1975. Jones and Stanley entered the Hall together and were the first men's basketball players to be inducted.
