Winton Woods this season had a lock-down secondary, dubbed the “No-Fly
Zone,” determined to help the Warriors win a second straight Ohio Div.
II state championship, but the Warriors fell just short, losing to Kings
in the regional finals to finish the season at 12-1. One of the leaders
of that secondary was cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr., who will play his
football collegiately at The Ohio State University. His running mate was
senior Cameron Calhoun. Together they accounted for 11 interceptions
this season.
Jermaine's value to this year's team was evident earlier this season in
a big game between two undefeated teams atop the ECC. After the Warriors
went down 10-0 to Kings the first time they met this season, Jermaine
righted the ship when he took a kickoff 80 yards to the house, trimming
the lead down to just three points, and leading Winton Woods to an
eventual 28-23 win. He had another defensive gem in a 28-14 win over
Milford when he intercepted a ball and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. In
the first round of the playoffs, Winton Woods beat La Salle 35-13 and
Jermaine had a 29-yard pick-six in the game and also had a touchdown
reception. He was first-team all-SWO District this past season.
Jermaine was coming off a great junior season when he had 44 tackles,
three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, five interceptions (which
was third in the ECC) and two punt returns for touchdowns. He earned
numerous honors for his accomplishments, including being named
first-team all ECC, second-team all-city (Enquirer) and first-team
all-SWO District.
Jermaine also played basketball for the Warriors and last season was
named ECC Defensive Player of the Year and led the conference in steals
per game. His favorite athlete is LeBron James, favorite entertainer is
YoungBoy, favorite book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, favorite movie is Coach
Carter and most-like-to-meet is Jalen Ramsey.
COACH'S QUOTE – "A talented young man with TONS of big time
potential, Jermaine is an ultimate competitor and was nominated a team
captain by his teammates. Jermaine is a winner, leader and has a
tremendous work ethic."
— Chad Murphy, Varsity Football Coach
