Limestone’s Douglass Named Men's Basketball Player of the Week

High Point, N.C. – Limestone College’s Jarrell Douglass has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas men's basketball Player of the Week during week number one of the 2011-2012 season.  Redshirt-senior forward Jarrell Douglass from Leesburg, FL showed why he is a legitimate candidate for All-American honors as he delivered a pair of dominant performances against two South Atlantic Conference foes. Against a Wingate team that went 19-10 a year ago, Douglass delivered 25 points, 11 rebounds (four offensive) and shot 10-of-18 from the field. The last of those was the game-winning shot falling away on the left baseline that gave the Saints a thrilling 67-66 victory. That performance moved him into 11th place all-time on Limestone's scoring list with 1,076 career points. He followed that with an even more impressive outing against Lenoir-Rhyne, a team which pushed Queens to the limit in their season-opener at the Timken Center. In that game, Douglass finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds and three assists in a hard fought 70-66 victory. Limestone opens the season with a perfect 2-0 record.
