If I didn't count Asia Booker, I'm not going to count Jessiah Johnson even though they both played club ball for area teams, Johnson with the Houston Insiders however if I did that would put the area at number 79. I first saw Johnson at an A&M camp after her freshman season and was impressed with the many things she could do on the offensive end of the court but the thing that stood out more than anything was how quick her release was along with her ability to get her shot off against anyone. After coming back from a knee injury, Johnson transferred to Goliad where she led them to a 21-10 record her junior year averaging almost 17 ppg
Johnson joins Bryce Owens and Camille Williams as the third of last seasons five juniors to move on to the next level after giving a verbal to Angelina College last night, Cydney Hicks will make her decision in the not to distant future while Kelechi Kalu has decided to go the academic route pushing the Insiders club to over 50 next level players since 2005 . Angelina has continued to reload with players from the area or with area ties and they are getting a scoring machine in Johnson and I know this will be another JJ that will have plenty of "Good Times" going off at the next level
