As can be seen from the above data, Jeremy was an outstanding three-sport athlete at Clay County Central high school. In his senior year he earned All-Conference honors in three sports and excelled in baseball in which he made All-State.
As a senior in football, he was the leading receiver on the football team and a starter in the defensive secondary that did not yield a single passing touchdown all year. He returned an interception and a kickoff return for touchdowns. Against Parkin he scored on touchdown passes of 10 and 33 yards and a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown. Against EPC he caught three passes for 92 yards. Against Marked Tree he caught a crucial touchdown pass.
As a senior in basketball, Jeremy received the ‘best field goal percentage award’. He scored 14 points in the 1994 NEA title game in a victory over Weiner. He scored 22 points in the Clay County tournament title game victory over a favored Piggott. Jeremy scored 23 of his 25 points in the second half in a three-point loss in the Regional tournament to a strong Palestine-Wheatly team. He started every game for the team that finished 22-10 and won the NEA-tournament.
As a starting pitcher in baseball, he was 4-1 as a sophomore, 5-2 as a junior, and 7-0 as a senior. As a sophomore on the 1992 State championship team he pitched a one-hit shutout, 10-0, win over Manila in the District tourney. While not pitching, Jeremy was the Cougar first baseman.
In his senior year, in tournament play, Jeremy posted a two-hitter against Riverside, a two-hit shutout against Midland, a three-hitter with no walks and seven strikeouts against Riverside, and allowed only one-earned run against Norphlet and hit a two-run triple.
One teammate said: “Jeremy was a quiet leader who did his talking through outstanding play on the field, court, and diamond and was one who always had the respect of his teammates”.
Jeremy McDaniel died tragically in an ATV accident and was honored by having the Rector baseball and softball fields designated as the Jeremy McDaniel Memorial Sports Complex.
