James Johnson Earns Starting WR Spot


Freshman wideout and Valley Center alum James Johnson (No. 3 in the above photo) is at it again, earning a starting spot for the Washington Huskies in their season opener against Louisiana State (LSU) on Saturday.

Johnson told me he's "excited" about the opportunity, and that he's been preparing for this "since I got off the plane." As always, he sounded cool and confident when I talked to him on Monday, but I imagine there will be a few butterflies when Saturday evening rolls around. Not that it will affect how he plays, because in all the big games he played at Valley Center, he always seemed to step up the biggest when the pressure was at its greatest.

Be sure to watch the Huskies play the LSU Tigers on Saturday at 7:30 pm PST. The game will be shown on ESPN and online on ESPN 360.

Go Huskies!
