The Wildcats traveled to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) showcase tournament last weekend in Duncanville, where they defeated Richmond Foster 74-34, San Antonio Harlan 63-41 and Austin Westlake 62-48. After the final game, the tournament recognized Johnson in a tweet for “putting @LHWildcatHoops on his back in the 2nd half scoring 15 of his 19 points.” Junior Samson Aletan, who’s received an offer to play at Saint Louis University, also earned their praise.
