No one said anything negative about Johnson. I agree he did well tonight as did all the players. There is plenty of talent on the Pirate team and personally I love it! It is a team and the fans have to remember that what works 1 game may not work the next game. I think people at Belfry, Pike Central, Pikeville, etc would agree based on Johnson’s past performance, he is and will continue to be a good player. Let’s agree to live in the present and work for the future. Hopefully at Belfry, every parent remembers it is a team and everyone has to do what it takes every practice and game to make the team go farther and installs this attitude in their child. Some games a player may run the ball, catch the ball, throw the ball, block…but none of these make a player’s role less important. I am sure glad Johnson lives in Belfry and his dad doesn’t have your attitude of packing up and leaving cause of whatever (still not sure what sparked this rampage) and understands The Great Tradition Of Pirate Football. If you have a child that plays at a school across the mountain, I feel sorry for his coach, not cause of your child but because of the your mentality of looking at things. Go TEAM!
