Limestone College basketball standout Jarrell Douglass was playing with what doctors described as the knee of a 50-year-old.

Now that's his good knee.

Douglass hurt the other one in a game last week and his Limestone career is finished. It became official on Tuesday as the school made the unfortunate announcement.

“It's really disappointing,” Limestone head coach Brandon Scott said. “It's a tough deal for the team but especially for him.”

The senior from Leesburg, Fla., was named Sporting News preseason NCAA Division II All-American for a Limestone team picked to win the Conference Carolinas. Douglass (6-foot-5, 220 pounds) was averaging 21.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and was shooting 62 percent. He was on pace to set the school record for career points and finish second in rebounding despite playing a season at Sante Fe Community College.

GAFFNEY, S.C. – Senior forward Jarrell Douglass (Leesburg, Fla.), an NCAA Division II All-American candidate and multiple preseason award winner, will miss the remainder of the 2011-12 men’s basketball campaign following an injury suffered against King College on November 29.

Douglass’ season ends with averages of 21.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists and a shooting percentage of .615. At his current averages, he was on pace for 614 points and 244 rebounds. That point total would have been the most in the program’s NCAA Division II era while the rebound mark would have been second. Last season he delivered the highest totals in points (604) and rebounds (252) since the program transitioned from NAIA.

For his career, the native of Leesburg, Fla. dominated the Limestone record books, finishing with 1,204 points and 433 rebounds in just over two seasons in Gaffney, S.C. His point total ranks ninth all-time in Saints history and is the fourth highest in the Division II era while his rebounds are the fifth most. All but one person in front of him on the scoring list played four full seasons while each on the rebounding ledger played at least three full seasons.

Limestone's Douglass earns All-American nod fromThe Sporting News

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.

Former Leesburg High School Head Coach and current Limestone College head coach Brandon Scott

“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.
