Prep Scene
Christopher Johnson posted the pictures on Facebook of five former Minneapolis North football and basketball student athletes who hope to make noise on the gridiron this fall—along with an interesting question as well.
“When is someone going to write this story?” Johnson’s post read.
The posted pictures were of wide receiver Tyler Johnson (Los Angeles Rams), safety Omar Brown (Green Bay Packers practice squad), defensive end Quientrail Jamison-Travis (Auburn University), wide receiver Mario Sanders (University of Illinois), and cornerback Zashon Rich (Kansas State University).
Johnson, aka “Coach Pete,” coached each player as an assistant to Hall of Fame boys basketball coach Larry Mckenzie.
The basketball director of the Heritage Youth Sports Foundation wanted some respect for these student athletes. “Salute these men,” Johnson’s post read later.
An even more interesting observation: All were coached in football by current Polars Head Coach Charles Adams.
Salute!
