Athlete of the Week

Published September 2, 2009
ATHENS Buford High School transfer Storm Johnson began his Loganville career as one of the most hyped athletes in school history.
With seemingly every Division I college in pursuit of his services, the newest Red Devil went into Clarke Centrals Death Valley as a marked man. Even as the Gladiator student section chanted over-rated, over-rated in Johnsons vicinity following a 20-15 loss, those who know the game came away knowing this runner will leave his mark in Loganville annals by the end of the season.
Johnson returned the opening kickoff 24 yards and then sped 25 yards for a touchdown on his first play from scrimmage. Later in the contest, the senior dove two yards for another score. He finished his debut with 109 rushing yards on 23 carries and solidified his place among the likes of past Loganville threats such as Garett Vaughn, Zach West and Mykel Wyyet as a talented performer.
For his efforts, Johnson is this years first Athlete of the Week.
Storm can easily turn a 10-yard gain into a 60-yarder, coach Eric Godfree said of his new tailback.
Speed is obviously Johnsons main strength, though he had a tendency to back into a couple of off-tackle runs against Clarke.
Over-rated? No. Have we seen his best? Not by a long shot.
