GAFFNEY, S.C. – Senior forward Jarrell Douglass (Leesburg, Fla.) has been named a 2011-12 The Sporting News Preseason All-American Honorable Mention following one of the most impressive seasons in the men’s basketball program’s NCAA Division II era.

“Jarrell is hopefully the first of many players at Limestone to make the All-American list” said head coach Brandon Scott. “I think in many ways it is a great honor, but I also think Jarrell should use this as motivation. He averaged better than 20 points and eight rebounds last year, putting together one of the best statistical seasons in Limestone's basketball history. I feel like with those numbers and our success as a team last year that he deserved to be on the First or Second team, so I am hoping it motivates him to prove himself even more as a player and as a leader this year. Jarrell is one of many good players on our team this year who feel like they have a lot to prove as individuals and as a team.”

Douglass earned the accolade in large part to his tremendous 2010-11 campaign. That season he averaged 20.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and shot .553 from the field as Limestone went 23-7, won the Conference Carolinas Tournament and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.

This adds to his collection of national and regional awards from last season as he was named D2 Bulletin All-American Honorable Mention, NABC First-Team All-Southeast District and Daktronics All-Southeast Region Second-Team. In Conference Carolinas, Douglass was Tournament Most Valuable Player, a First-Team selection and was twice named Player of the Week. He finished last season ranked 28th in scoring, 48th in field goal percentage and 51st in rebounds.

Douglass is one of 48 Division II players nationwide to be named to one of The Sporting News preseason team and is one of 38 players on the Honorable Mention list. He joins fellow Conference Carolinas members Daniel Bailey (Queens), Brent Evans (Queens), Greg Hayes (Mount Olive) and Derek Staton (Mount Olive) as an Honorable Mention.

It is the first such recognition of his career.
