LEESBURG - I recently interviewed Leesburg Lady Jackets Head Basketball Coach Mark Oates and we discussed the pageantry and tradition of the Lady Jacket Basketball program. Oates has built a dynasty at Leesburg a 30-year state tournament drought ended when Oates took Leesburg to the state semifinal in 2007. Leesburg returned to state in '08 and was back there in '11 for the third time in five years. In 2008 his team finished in the top 10 in the state for G.P.A. His program has sent every player to college either on basketball or academic scholarship.

"I attribute most of the success that I have had to having some young ladies who can play the game," Oates said. "I just try to get the kids to believe in themselves. I just try to stress to them not to let anybody outwork us. The kids work hard and they want to be successful."

He has been a father figure to a many young ladies in his eight year tenure at Leesburg High School. Oates has never had a losing season while coaching at Leesburg. His overall record at Leesburg is 173-53. He has teams have won a average of 21 games per year at during his time as head coach at Leesburg. Oates is a part the FABC ABC COURT OF LEGENDS COACHES 150 WIN CLUB. He should reach the 300 win club by the 2012-2013 season.

Oates basketball program has a 100% graduation rate in his 8 years at Lady Jacket Head Coach. He is the most successful girls basketball coach in Leesburg High School History. Below is a list of Letter winners during Coach Mark Oates tenure at Leesburg:
