Miller stepping out of Reynolds’ shadow with Walker Cup triumph

KINGSTON, Jamaica—Jermaine Miller is beginning to make his mark at Kingston College, stepping out of former head coach Vassell Reynolds’ shadow by guiding the school to the ISSA Walker Cup title in his first season in charge of the Under-19 team.

Miller, who was promoted from KC’s Under-16 programme, watched his team come from behind to beat Mona High 2-1 in Friday’s final at Stadium East, securing his first senior schoolboy football title and strengthening the Purples’ pursuit of an ambitious four-title haul.
