Last Updated: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 

Two teams in Lake County stood out in 2011. Both were in 7A, both were in region 1, and both were in district 4. It’s too bad that the surprising Evans Trojans were also in 7A, because the East Ridge Knights and Leesburg Yellowjackets were both playoff worthy squads.

The Yellowjackets who had an 8-2 record, missed the postseason because they finished 3rd in the 7A “district of death”. Both losses came at the hands of teams ahead of Leesburg in the final standings.

One of the best defensive teams in the area, Leesburg allowed fewer than 10 points scored in 6 different games. That defensive unit was led by 6-foot-4, 240-pound linebacker Noor Davis, a tackling machine that will be suiting up at Stanford next year.

Bud O’Hara’s Knights were senior-laden, and the district runners up to Evans. East Ridge, led by quarterback J.J. Martin and running backs Randy Bergan, & Jerami Singleton played its best football when it counted.

The Knights opened up the playoffs with a 21-18 come-from-behind upset win over Oviedo. East Ridge then turned the tables on the Trojans 34-26 in the second round, in what was a rematch of a district game won by Evans in the regular season.

The season came to and end the next week against state finalist, Jacksonville First Coast. The Knights lost by a touchdown in the state semifinals 28-21.

LEESBURG - The award nominations for Noor Davis keep piling up as the Leesburg High School Senior has been nominated for the Franklin D. Watkins Memorial Trophy Award. Davis has made a verbal commitment to attend Stanford University in 2012 and helped lead the Jackets to a 8-2 (2-2) record in this past season. Davis has excelled not only on the football field but in the classroom also. 

The Franklin D. Watkins Memorial Trophy Award

The Franklin D. Watkins Memorial Trophy Award was initiated in 1992 to promote academic excellence among young African-American males. As unavoidable role models on the "image" front lines, talented athletes-especially in football, basketball and baseball-define what the emerging generations of African-American males will value, and the aspirations they will have. The Watkins Trophy Award is a means for recognizing exceptionally talented African-American male athletes who, by their example, help promote high academic standards and a commitment to community service.

I began doing interviews for my blogs and websites with Noor in the summer of 2011 and he leads by example. During that time, I have come to respect Noor not only for his approach to education, but for his commitment to being a role model to school and the Leesburg community. He has always taken time out of his busy schedule to interview with me and my organization, the Carver Heights Quarterback Club, sometimes on a moment’s notice. These kind acts don’t happen too often in the world of journalism.

He is a student first and does whatever he can to uplift our high school and community. He has a 4.33 GPA; is a member of the National Honor’s Society; and has been accepted to Stanford University. Noor plays three sports, donates to charities, and serves on volunteer committees. He does all this while working part time at Chick-Fil-A.

LEESBURG—Playing in the Under Armour All-America Game has been a goal of Leesburg's Noor Davis since his freshman year.

That was when Davis, originally from Maryland, went to watch friend Jelani Jenkins play in the game. Jenkins, who is from Olney, Md., is now a linebacker at the University of Florida.

Davis officially was presented a jersey and recognized as one of the players selected for the 2012 game during a ceremony Thursday afternoon in the auditorium at Leesburg High. Leesburg coach Randy Trivers, his family, teammates and school administrators and friend attended the ceremony. FOR MORE CLICK BELOW

Noor Davis is accustomed to being recognizedfor his prowess on the football field.

The Leesburg High School senior is considered one of the nation’s top outside linebackers, including being rated as the top prospect by at least one national recruiting service.

He’s the type of player opposing coaches gameplan for, trying to devise ways to neutralize his speed and strength, without taking too much away from their offensive strengths.

Still, despite the notoriety and accolades, Davis has remained humble. When he’s asked to speak about his personal successes, Davis is likely to deflect the attention off himself and direct it at his coaches and teammates.

Davis maintained those traits on Thursday when he was presented with his game jersey for the fifth annual Under Armour All-America High School Football Game during a ceremony in front of his family, teammates, coaches and school officials.

Considered one of the top postseason games for high-school standouts, the game features 90 of the nation’s top players. It is scheduled for Jan. 5 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg and will be shown nationally on ESPN.

Davis is the only area player named to play in this year’s game.

“I’m honored to have been selected to play in the Under Armour All-America High School game,” Davis said. “There are so many great players around the country and it is a blessing to be considered among them. What makes it even more special is that I can share this moment with my family, my teammates, my coaches and my teachers here (at Leesburg High School).

Gabriel Davis and Noor Davis at mour All-American Honorary Jersey ceremony.

“Any success I’ve enjoyed on the football field is because so many people have cared enough to help me achieve my dreams.”

Despite missing three games this season for the Yellow Jackets, Davis is third on the team with 2 1/2 sacks and leads the team with nine tackles for loss. He also enters today’s regular-season finale against Ocala Lake Weir with 24 tackles, despite being double- and triple-teamed when he has played.

Davis tranferred from The Villages in June and immediately fit into coach Randy Trivers’ defensive scheme. Trivers said Davis has never asked for special treatment, despite the national recognition he’s received.

“He’s been a wonderful teammate and a very coachable young man,” Trivers said. “He’s a classy young man and has always been willing to do whatever we’ve asked of him. Not only is Noor a talented football player, but he’s also an outstanding student.

“He’s a great ambassador for Yellow Jackets football.”

Davis said he learned in March that he was being considered for the game. With numerous high school all-star games being played around the nation every year, Davis said he sat down with his parents to discuss his options.

He learned about the Under Armour game after attending one several years ago when current University of Florida linebacker Jelani Jenkins — a family friend — was invited to play. After considering the proximity of the Under Armour game to his Lake County home, Davis said it was “relatively easy” to make his choice.

“Because the game is in Florida and we will practice for a week at Walt Disney World (ESPN Wide World of Sports) leading up to the game, a lot of the best players in the country will play in this game,” Davis said. “It’s a chance to stay closer to home and be exposed to a higher level of play. The game will be a great opportunity to prepare myself to compete at the next level.”

Is D'Mauri Jones The Greatest Athlete Ever At Leesburg High School, November 3, 2011

2012 University of Miami (FL) Commit WR D'Mauri Jones

By Gerald Lacey

Carver Heights Quarterback Club

November 3, 2011

LEESBURG - Senior wide receiver D'Mauri Jones (6-5, 190) will be making his last regular season game appearance as a Yellow Jacket Friday night. The 2012 University of Miami (FL) commit is hoping to be able to participate in a District Tiebreaker on Monday. If Groveland South Lake High School defeats Clermont East Ridge Friday night he will get that chance.

Jones is arguably the best wide receiver and athlete to play at Leesburg since Greg Williams in 1969. Williams is Leesburg all time career leader in virtually all receiving categories. Williams was a All-State Selection in Basketball and Football his senior year. Williams led the Jackets to the Class A Football State Championship Game in 1969. In 1969 Williams had 74 receptions, 1341 receiving yards and 19 touchdown receptions. He set a state playoff record with 12 catches for 229 yards in a game.

 He holds all of Leesburg High School career receiving records. In 1969 he made the Class A All-State Basketball and Football teams. Williams led Leesburg to the 1969 Class A State Championship Game. Williams went to play college football at Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Jones has 36 catches for 470 yards after playing in only 6 out of 9 games so far in 2011. He is averaging 13.1 yards per catch with 9 Touchdowns. 

Jones is almost a lock to do all of the above again this year. His numbers won't matchup with Greg Williams in football or Ed Chatman in basketball but he is arguably the best athlete ever at Leesburg. He is a (6-5, 185) phenom if Jones had been playing in a larger media market he would be a household name.

Jones says his plan is play another basketball season and help his school defend their state title but he will focus on football exclusively in college unless an opportunity arose where he could play both sports.

With so few big (6’2+) receivers this year in Florida, Jones became a hot commodity. He brings both the size and athletic ability that so many schools covet. He is a big time BCS prospect,  Miami has given a scholarship offer and many other top programs as well will try to and jump in.

Jones, who caught 40 passes for 544 yards and 12 touchdowns last year, has received offers from Miami (FL), Arkansas, Duke, Florida, Louisville, Marshall, Middle Tennesee State, Rutgers, South Carolina, USF, UCF, Wake Forest and West Virginia. 

Jones went to Florida and Florida State for junior day events during the offseason

"Both FSU and Florida have real nice facilities," Jones said. "I like both programs and I love the people at both programs -- they treat you real well. I've been to games at both schools last year and I loved the atmosphere."

"Education is the number one thing with me," Jones said. "It's a traditional thing in my family. I've grown up taking school really seriously. That won't change."

Jones had made a big name for himself every since the arrival of second year head coach Randy Trivers to the Leesburg High School campus. Up until last season he always played in a option attack offense. You will see Jones doing great things on Saturday's at the "U". His body is still developing and maturing, the sky is the limit for this young man. He also gives you a receiver with good hands. He is the type of receiver that can run through traffic and catch the football.

"He's got great ball skills," Trivers said. "He has a natural ability to go up and get the ball when it's in the air, which is easier said than done. The guy has good size, runs very well, is highly competitive. He has a very strong work ethic, is a good leader, has a lot of great qualities that will make him a very, very good football player at the next level. He's just scratching the surface, hasn't played a lot of receiver in terms of catching balls in game situations until last year because it was an option offense prior to last year. I think he'll do great things and continue to enhance his game as a wideout, will continue to improve once he gets to Miami. He has just so much more to grow as good as he is right now as a high school play. He has room to grow physically and from an experience standout."

Jones is your typical 6-foot-5 deep threat receiver. He has knack for getting over the top of defenders. If a jump ball is thrown his way, chances are he comes down with it. He has good hands and tucks the ball quickly after the catch. Using his long strides and ability to change of direction, he makes a lot of plays downfield, especially in the end zone. He has good vertical ability as well, making him a threat for the jump ball and fade routes. He needs to add some weight to fill out his long frame. While at the prep level this is not an issue, corners become more physical in college and the weight will help with that.

Head Coach Randy Trivers, who was an assistant at Rutgers and Syracuse of the Big East, has a drill where he puts three men on the big Jones and sees who comes up with the ball. He also sees similar stop-gaps in games.

"Before games and afterward, during practice, I work on my own little stuff to get those kinds of balls," Jones said.

Jones has recovered from a early season high ankle sprain and had a offensive explosion in the game against South Lake. Jones four touchdown receptions showed how unstoppable he is one on one and in the red zone. The talented Jones is the first LHS football player to make a verbal commitment to a FBS school before his senior season. Not since the days of Oran Singleton has Leesburg had an explosive offensive player like Jones. 

During his career opposing defensive coaches have had to form a game plan around stopping Jones. Jones has routinely beat double and triple team coverages for big plays. Jones can take a two yard pass and turn it into a 80 yard gain. 

Friday night may be the last time that the Jacket Nation may see Jones in the Orange and Black at Hubert O. Dabney Stadium. Rarely do you see a player of Jones caliber at Leesburg or any other school. Just ask any fan who saw Greg Williams in 1968 or Oran Singleton in 1990-1992.

A high ankle sprain in the seasons Kickoff Classic against Orlando L.C. Jones slowed down Jones for most of the season. Jones had his breakout game in a critical district win against South Lake last Friday night. Jones hauled in 10 passes for 162 yards and 4 touchdowns in his biggest game of the season for him no receiver had caught four touchdown passes in a game in over 40 years at Leesburg. 

Jones has the chance to lead second year head coach Marcel Thomas basketball team back to the State Championship Game. Jones is battle ready as he helped Leesburg win five playoff games on the road and lead team in rebounds on their way to the state title last season. He and his brother Robert Jones should have been given the backboards at George Jenkins Arena at The Lakeland Center because they owned them at the Final Four. 

Jones also built on his impressive semifinal performance with 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the championship game. He finished with a team-high 35 points in the final four for Leesburg, a town about an hour northwest of Orlando. The senior shot 58% from the field last season and is one of the four returning starters next year for Marcel Thomas. The Jackets are favored to repeat as state champions in 2011-2012. There has never have been a repeat state champion in the history of Leesburg High School Sports. Jacket fans will get a chance to see something special this season. 

Jones is a poor man’s version of Duke's Austin Rivers in terms of what he contributes on both ends of the court. Jones was able to use favorable match-ups in their half court sets against Blake and Cardinal Gibbons in their march to a 4A Title. Works well within the framework of what Head Coach Marcel Thomas asks of his Yellow Jacket team. Averaged 18 points in 2 games well above his average of 10 points during the Regular Season.

Great athletes only come around every so often. Williams was one of them in 1969 but he is missing a championship ring. Great players are judged on by championships and if they made players around them better. D'Mauri Jones has done that. 

Ed Chatman has a ring but only dominated one sport. Wayne Hamilton dominated in two sports but has no state championship rings. 

Greg Williams was unstoppable in two sports and has a state championship game appearance but no ring. 

Oran Singleton is one of the top five players to ever play at Leesburg but dominated in only one sport and has no rings. 

Greg Johnson arguably the greatest football player ever at Leesburg has a state championship game appearance but no ring. Jones has dominated in two sports and has a State Championship Ring to show for it. 

I was too young to see Greg Williams play but I saw Oran Singleton perform on a high level every Friday night. Jones has the same type of playmaking skills when the ball gets in his hand. Singleton touched the ball 15 to 25 times a game, Jones only 5 to 10 times a game but he makes the most out of every opportunity. 

Jones has helped elevate Leesburg Basketball and Football to State Championship levels. He is a hard worker that doesn't just rely on his athletic talent. He is a student of the game in both sports. He has flown under the radar at Leesburg High School as well as the University of Kentucky All-American linebacker Danny Trevathan did in his prep playing days in Leesburg. Trevathan will be playing on Sunday's soon look for Jones to do the same.

D'Mauri Jones has a number of tricks in his bag: One is a move he pulls to unlock triple-team coverage, the other is how he keeps himself consumed with getting better.

"I know there are coaches here but if I find myself looking at them, I lose my focus. That's the biggest thing I'm learning now, how to focus in practice and in school too," said Jones.

University of Miami Hurricanes Locker Room Dolphin Stadium Miami, FL. D'Mauri Jones will dress hear for home games in 2012 for the Miami Hurricanes.

What Jones does is fool himself into think he is the worst player on the Leesburg team, even though he probably is the best.

"I practice like I'm the worst, when game comes I'm the best," Jones says.

And, as for the cornerbacks.

"I will say that I'm tall and unpredictable. You never know what you're going to get. If you throw me the pass I can find a way to get it. If I'm triple-covered, I can find a way to get away with the ball," he said. 

Friday night will be special for Jacket fans as they will get their last chance to see arguably the greatest athlete to ever wear the Orange and Black of Leesburg High School. If the late Jack Wilson Leesburg's longtime radio play by play announcer was still calling games he would sound something like this "Mitchell (Jack Mitchell former color analyst for Jacket football game radio broadcast) that Jones kid can really scoot with the football can he Mitchell."
