<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>LEESBURG - </b>Marcel Thomas is leaving Leesburg High School after leading Leesburg to two State Championship Game Appearances. Thomas is leaving to coach boys basketball
for All Saints Academy of Winter Haven. All Saints Academy will be the fifth coaching job for Thomas during his career. Thomas was 67-46 in four seasons as head coach at Groveland South
Lake (2005-09) and is 191-108 for his career, including two stints in
Virginia. He will arguably go down as the greatest basketball coach in the history of Leesburg Basketball. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thomas told reporters that he was no longer happy at Leesburg and the direction that the program was headed. He also said there was lack of support by the school's administration as reasons for leaving.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“I just wasn’t happy at Leesburg,” Thomas said on Thursday. “I love
the kids there. But the administration didn’t really embrace the success
that we’ve had as a program. It was time for me to pack up and go.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thomas led Leesburg to it's first state title in 34 years in 2011 and followed that performance with a return trip to the state championship game in 2012. He is only the second African-American Head boys basketball coach in the 94 year history of basketball at Leesburg. Legendary coach Hubert O. Dabney was the first African-American head basketball coach in the early 70's.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All Saints was 12-12 last season under the direction of veteran coach <b>Aubrey Whitaker</b>, formerly of Lake Highland Prep, Lake Wales and Frostproof.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“They’re definitely going in the right direction as far as athletics,” Thomas said.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thomas record is outstanding at Leesburg leading them to 20 win seasons in each of his three seasons at the helm. His record at the school is 72-20 during his tenure. What is impressive about this record is that he accomplished this playing one of the nations toughest schedules. Thomas brought back the swagger to Leesburg Basketball and he certainly will be missed by the Jacket Nation.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Playing in the semi dusk of the badly-lighted and low-raftered gymnasium of the Orlando high last night, Leesburg Yellowjackets piled up a 13 to 3 lead during the first half and loafed during the last to win, 17 to 8, before the small crowd. One end of the court was said to be without lights.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Yellowjackets met stubborn resistance from the Orlando team that had greatly increased its strength, several ineligible men getting back into good graces after the recent examinations. The game was marked by roughness throughout, the poor light making smooth teamwork almost out of the question. Jimmy Rountree Leesburg guard, was unable to make the trip to Orlando, detained here though business associations. Rountree has been developing rapidly into a top notch player and fitted in well when Adams was out of the lineup due to illness.</span>Gerald Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13935573212745811209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43100224085965041.post-77474146794324127542013-05-18T09:22:00.000-07:002013-05-18T09:24:03.687-07:00Yellow Jackets Are Guests at Lions Club, Friday, March 20, 1936<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Friday, March 20, 1935</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>LEESBURG</b> - The Lions Club at their regular weekly luncheon were honored by having as their guests, the coaches and members of the high school basketball team, who represented this district at the State Tournament this year and were one of the semi-final teams. Lion Robinson, presiding in the absence of President McIrwin, extended a hearty welcome to both the coaches and all of the team members. Coach Ray Hayes responded by introducing his assistant Roy Hope, Manager Billy Masters, together with Frankenstein Phillips, Jim Girtman, Bill Girtman, Elmo Miller, Joe Knowles, Bethea, Jim Worrill, Jim Golden and Bill Davis, who made up this year's Yellow Jacket squad. Ned Searcy, the other valued member of the team was sick and unable to attend.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Coach Hayes deplored the fact that the school was unable to offer any training to the younger boys of the Junior High School to teach them the fundamentals of the different sports they might be fitted to take up on reaching high school. He stated that to be able to compete on an equal basis with the larger schools of the state, with many more athletic prospects than are available here, it is vital that some form of Physical Education and preliminary training be arranged for. He urged that this matter be given serious consideration so as to keep the standard of Leesburg athletes up to what they have been for the past several years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lion Robinson introduced the guests speaker of the evening, Karl Lehman, Secretary of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, who warmly praised the coaches and members of the basketball team for the records they had compiled in the last few years against much larger schools throughout the state. Mr. Lehman cited many incidents gathered from the various cities over the state he has lately visited to show that Florida is now enjoying one of its best season since 1926. He gave facts and figures to show that in Miami and St. Petersburg, two of the largest tourist centers in the state, more rooms and apartments had been built than ever before and that practically all of them were filled this winter. He also pointed out that more expensive homes had been built and more property changed hands than in the last ten years. The Citrus display at Tampa Fair which won the Blue ribbon for Lake county in his estimation had caused the many citrus groves to be sold throughout the county. All of these sales he said, were made to northern people and he named many of these. He stated that all indications were for another boom for Florida without all of the speculation but much saner than the boom of 1926.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gene Morris was welcomed into the club as a new member, while Ormund Powers of the Orlando Morning Sentinel was also a guest. The attendance contest which will run through the balance of this month, seems to be getting good results, this being the best attendance in several meetings.</span>Gerald Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13935573212745811209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43100224085965041.post-69627163778337007362013-05-08T15:18:00.003-07:002013-05-08T15:21:47.433-07:00Leesburg Cruises To Home Win Over Forest, December 15, 2006<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So Leesburg should feel very proud of the Jackets and not only Leesburg but their whole state as well, should honor the Jackets and their Coach, Ray Hayes.</span>Gerald Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13935573212745811209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43100224085965041.post-70206994240397390352013-05-07T09:56:00.000-07:002013-05-07T09:58:41.987-07:00Yellow Jackets Cage Schedule Announced, January 3, 1936<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Friday, January 3, 1936</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>LEESBURG</b> - The 1936 basketball schedule for the Leesburg Yellow Jackets was announced this week by Coach Ray Hayes. The Jackets cagers will appear in seven home games and will take five trips. On the Jacksonville trip they will play Landon and Jackson, making a total of thirteen scheduled games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The first home game will be played against Tavares next Friday at the high school gym. Leesburg successfully opened the season two weeks ago with a win over Tavares and hope to stop their county seat rivals again Friday. Following this game the local quintet plays the Ocala Wildcats on Tuesday, the 14th in the local gym. On the 17th the first trip is taken to Sanford.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Northeastern conference championship, heretofore, has been decided during the regular season, but this year a tournament will decide the champion. This tournament will be held in Hulley gym in DeLand on January 31 and February 1. The regular schedule is then resumed and at its completion the fifth district tournament will be held, probably during the first week in March.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The outlook for the 1936 edition of the Jacket cagers is promising although the reserves are not as strong as in former years. Only five men have had previous experience and these five are all senior. "Shorty: Phillips heads the list, this being his fourth year of serve; Jimmy Girtman played a couple of years; and Joe Knowles, Ned Searcy and Elmo Miller had each had a year's experience. The offense will be built around Phillips, the Jacket's lanky center with Girtman and Searcy at the forward positions and Knowles and Miller at guards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other students out for basketball this year are Jimmy Worrell, Billy Davis, Jimmy Golden, Jimmy Herlong, Billy Girtman, Robert Farrell, George Andreu, Henry Williams, Henry Hardin, Billy Newett, Arthur Snyder, Teddy Hanford and others.</span>Gerald Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13935573212745811209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43100224085965041.post-80262197943841458312013-05-06T10:24:00.000-07:002013-05-06T10:24:11.721-07:00Jackets Travel, February 12, 1962<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>LEESBURG</b> - Run, run, run has been the good word coming out of the Leesburg Armory these warm Autumn afternoons as Leesburg High Basketball Coach Jeff Bramlett rounds his squad into shape for their home opener against Mainland on Tuesday, December 5.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Jackets with a 17 and 11 record last year had to be content with the runner-up spot in the Orange Belt Conference trailing Apopka and pre-season dopesters have picked them no better than third for this year. Coach Bramlett and the boys may have something to say about that, though, before the season is up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Blessed with the return of lettermen Bill Arnold, Max Wettstein, Buddy Stone, Danny Shay, and Billy Stephenson the Jackets are also able to call on Larry Williams, Stan Gideons, John Gray and Mike Huey, as well as Sophomores Tommy Brown, Clell Coleman, and Pete Seng.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Arnold at 6ft. 4 in., and Wettstein and Stone at 6 ft. 1 in., give the Jackets adequate height while Shay is a hard driving forward and Stephenson is fast becoming the play maker the Jackets need for a successful season. Bill McBride, with a football injury, and David Herlong with an injured hand are expected to join the squad later. McBride is expected to join them after the first of the year in time for OBC competition, while Herlong is still a big question mark as for as the team is concerned. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Local fans are sure to welcome the brand of ball Coach Bramlett is bringing to Leesburg. His quintet will employ the fast break with plenty of passing and shooting . The new look at Leesburg High will also feature some original plays that are sure to throw any set defense out the window. </span><br />

``Coach [Pat Todd) tells
me a lot of times I'm the key to the offense because I'm a senior,''

made two foul shots and a driving layup to give the Yellow <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1999-12-18/news/9912170549_1_bedford-leesburg-scott-county#" id="itxthook2" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border: 0px none transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook2p"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook2w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;">Jackets</span><img class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" id="itxthook2icon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" style="margin-bottom: 0px!important; margin-left: 0px!important; margin-right: 0px!important; margin-top: 0px!important; padding-bottom: 0px!important; padding-left: 4px!important; padding-right: 0px!important; padding-top: 0px!important; vertical-align: baseline!important;" /></span></a> the lead each time.<br />
<br />
The layup with 3:16 left in the game gave the Yellow Jackets a 71-70 lead they would not relinquish.<br />
<br />
Leesburg forward Tyrell Rachel said when Bedford hit the two 3-pointers, he knew the game was going in Leesburg's favor.<br />
<br />
``That just pumped it up,'' Rachel said. ``Jed's shots were big.''<br />
<br />
Bedford finished with 18 points.<br />
<br />
``When
I step on the court, I figure no one can stop me,'' Bedford said. ``I
knew they were in foul trouble, so I took it to the hole and knocked
down some big shots.''<br />
<br />
Bedford had two early fouls in the first half.<br />
<br />
''In the first half, I was in foul trouble, but I had to step up,'' Bedford said. ``I was too <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1999-12-18/news/9912170549_1_bedford-leesburg-scott-county#" id="itxthook3" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border: 0px none transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook3p"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook3w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;">aggressive</span><img class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" id="itxthook3icon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" style="margin-bottom: 0px!important; margin-left: 0px!important; margin-right: 0px!important; margin-top: 0px!important; padding-bottom: 0px!important; padding-left: 4px!important; padding-right: 0px!important; padding-top: 0px!important; vertical-align: baseline!important;" /></span></a> when I got the fouls.''<br />
<br />
Todd said Bedford ``scores in bunches.''<br />
<br />
``He
takes a lot of shots that are, `Oh no,' and `Oh yes,''' Todd said.
``But for all the mistakes, he plays with everything he's got. You have
to give the kid credit.''<br />
<br />
Leesburg (9-0) is No.1 in The Orlando
Sentinel Super 6 and No.3 in Class 4A. Rachel and Jason Currington each
scored 19 points and Marlyn Bryant had 14.<br />
<br />
``This makes a
statement,'' said Rachel. ``Some people thought this team would kill us.
We came here and showed them Leesburg can play.''<br />

<strong>GAFFNEY, S.C.</strong> – Senior center <dfn><a href="http://golimestonesaints.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3657" rel="smarttag" rev="3657">Phillip Moultrie</a></dfn>
(Southern Pines, N.C.) produced a career-game as Limestone (14-6, 10-4
CC) earned a hard fought 78-74 victory over North Greenville (7-10, 4-9
CC) in an NCAA Division II men's basketball game on Monday, February 4.
The win keeps the Saints in second place in Conference Carolinas heading
into a showdown for first place this weekend.<br />
<br />
Moultrie was a man among men when it came to the glass as he shattered
his career-high with 18 rebounds and made it a double-double with 10
points and added a pair of blocks for good measure in just 26 minutes of
action. His previous career high of 13 came earlier this year at Coker
on January 12.<br />
<br />
Senior guard <dfn><a href="http://golimestonesaints.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4309" rel="smarttag" rev="4309">Mike Barrett</a></dfn>
(Virginia Beach, Va.) took care of the offense as he finished with 26
points on 10-of-19 shooting, including four threes, while junior guard <dfn><a href="http://golimestonesaints.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3655" rel="smarttag" rev="3655">PJ Foster</a></dfn> (Leesburg, Fla.) added 18 points with four threes of his own. Senior forward <dfn><a href="http://golimestonesaints.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3658" rel="smarttag" rev="3658">Joe Raga</a></dfn>
(Lithia, Fla.) delivered another solid game as he had eight points,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MOUNT DORA — Lake Minneola, which
opened its doors only a year and half ago, was born ready to play baskeball.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Hawks (18-6) claimed local
bragging rights in only their second season with a dramatic 53-48 win over
state-ranked Leesburg (20-5) in Saturday night's Lake-Sumter Tournament final
at Mount Dora Bible.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anthony Brown took a pass from twin brother Avery and knocked down a clutch
3-point shot with 45.8 seconds to go give Lake Minneola a 49-48 lead and the
push it needed to finish.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I knew he was passing to me and I knew the shot was going in, we have
that sync," Anthony said. "Leesburg beat us two times this season
(and once in 2011-12), but we won the most important one."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Yellow Jackets, state champions two years ago and Class 6A runner-ups
last season, had a late chance to extend their 18-game winning streak. But Lake
Minneola's Stephen Forbes drew a baseline charge with six seconds to go and
Avery Brown sealed the deal with two made free throws.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"This is huge," said Lake Minneola coach Freddie Cole. "It
gives our guys what they deserve for all the hard work they do in the offseason
and behind the scenes."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I think talent-wise, we're there with them. We had to be just as
physical."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Hawks, who are 13-2 in the New Year, jumped out to a 17-6 lead after
Avery Brown (18 points, four blocked shots) dunked following a steal late in
the first quarter. That advantage grew to 30-15 when Carlyle Holder banked a
shot high off the glass with 1:28 to go in the first half.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Leesburg battled back with a 23-8 run and tied the game 38-38 on a
follow-shot by Taj Lake.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">East Ridge (21-6) prevailed in a 61-58 win over wounded MDB (18-7) in a
third place in which workhorse seniors Josh Phillips of the Knights and Josh
Ellis of the host Bulldogs both posted double-doubles.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mount Dora Bible surged ahead 50-47 early in the final quarter on Zack
Brock's seventh 3-pointer, but East Ridge answered with an 8-1 run that
included treys by Erndona Noel and Austin Mills.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The host Bulldogs were without forward Lamar Smith due to a bladder
infection, then lost standout junior guard Zac Ward to an ankle sprain less
than four minutes in. With districts next week Ward was sent to an ice bucket
rather than back in to the game.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mount Dora Bible coach Steven Hayes donned a surgical mask during timeouts
to avoid spreading his flu bug.</span></span><br />
