Alright, let’s talk about this Raven Johnson gal, you know, the basketball player. Folks keep askin’ about her, so I figured I’d spill what I know. Now, I ain’t no fancy writer or nothin’, just gonna tell it like it is, you hear?
Who is this Raven Johnson anyway? Well, she’s a basketball player, plays for them South Carolina Gamecocks. Folks call it “collage basketball,” whatever that means. Sounds fancy, but it’s just basketball, far as I can tell. She’s a guard, you know, one of them fast ones that run around and dribble the ball. ESPN even got a page about her, says all sorts of things, career and all that. They call it a “biography,” sounds important, I guess.
This girl, she’s from Atlanta, Georgia. Born and raised there, just like me and my young’uns. Her folks, Carolyn and James, they played sports too, back when they were in college. That’s how Raven got into it, seems like. Her daddy, he sacrificed a lot so she could play, and her brothers and sisters too. That’s what families do, you know? Help each other out. This ESPN thing I read, they call ‘em “personal notes,” all this family stuff. Seems like good folks to me.
Now, Raven, she went to Westlake High School in Atlanta. Good school, I reckon. She played ball there, and let me tell you, she was good! Real good. They won four state titles, that’s like, the best you can get. Four times in a row! She played with another girl, Ta’Niya Latson, they were a real team. Folks around here, they even called Raven “Miss Georgia Basketball” not once, but twice! The Atlanta Tipoff Club and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, they both gave her awards. Big fancy awards, you know? “All-Classification Player of the Year,” they called it. That means she was the best, no matter how big or small the school was.
What else is there to know? Well, some folks wanna know about her age and all that. I ain’t gonna go snoopin’ around, that’s her business. But she’s young, still playing college ball. They talk about her “net worth” and “salary” online too, but I don’t pay that no mind. Money ain’t everything, it’s how you play the game that matters, you see. Some of them websites also talk about her “married life.” Good for her if she’s married, but I don’t see the need to go gossiping about it.
- Key things about Raven Johnson:
- Plays basketball for South Carolina Gamecocks
- From Atlanta, Georgia
- Went to Westlake High School
- Won four state titles
- Twice named Miss Georgia Basketball
- Considered a top player
They also got a “Wiki” about her, whatever that is. Sounds like a whole bunch of information, probably more than I even know. People put all sorts of things on the internet these days. But what matters is, she’s a good basketball player. Hardworking, dedicated, that’s what I see. Just like my grandpappy used to say, “hard work beats talent when talent don’t work hard”. And sounds like this Raven girl works real hard.
Now, I don’t know what the future holds for Raven Johnson. Maybe she’ll play in the pros, maybe she’ll do somethin’ else. But one thing’s for sure, she’s made a name for herself. And she’s made her family proud, I reckon. That’s more important than any trophy or award, if you ask me. It all comes down to family and doing your best, you know?
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about Raven Johnson. Just a girl from Atlanta who loves basketball and plays it real good. Nothing fancy, just plain and simple. And that’s the truth, as far as I can tell.
She’s a tough one, I bet. Takes a lot of grit to play basketball like that, all that runnin’ and jumpin’. Reminds me of my cousin Bessie, she could run like the wind, though she never played no basketball. Just chased chickens mostly. But she was tough, just like this Raven girl, I imagine.
Folks get all excited about these sports stars, and that’s alright, I guess. Gives ‘em somethin’ to cheer for. But at the end of the day, they’re just people, same as you and me. Just tryin’ to do their best, make their way in the world. And this Raven Johnson, she seems to be doin’ a right good job of it.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Got a pot of beans cookin’ on the stove, and they ain’t gonna stir themselves. You take care now, ya hear?
