Due to the current coronavirus situation and all sports being shut down, there are a lot of athletes who have had their senior seasons cut short. ENC Sports Review thought it would be nice to highlight some of these seniors as a small way to celebrate their senior year, since so much has been taken from them already. Today, we will highlight Northern Nash Senior Kameron Johnson. We thank Kameron for taking the time to sit down with ENC Sports Review and answer these questions for us. We had fun learning more about him and hope you will too!
How long have you been playing sports?
I have been playing sports since I could walk.
What teams have you been on? (This can be rec ball, middle school and high school)
I played basketball, cross country, and football for Red Oak Middle School. I played basketball, football, and track and field at Northern Nash High School.
Who has been your favorite coach and what did he or she teach you that you carry with you through today?
I can’t choose all have had different impacts through my athletic career.
What is your favorite memory and least favorite memory of playing sports?
Favorite memory was my junior year on the varsity football team against Orange when I scored the game winning touchdown. My least favorite was losing to Franklinton my senior year in basketball.
What is one thing or event that if you could do over again you would change?
The Southern Nash game in the 2nd round of the State Playoffs in 2019.
Who is someone you look up to and why?
I look up to my mother. Her determination, work ethic, and her drive just motivates me.
If you could go back 5 years and tell yourself something then that you know now what would it be?
Separate yourself and be a leader, don’t follow the crowd, and grind!
What is something you would tell someone trying to follow in your footsteps?
If someone is following my footsteps I would tell someone to keep grinding, stick to their vision, and be humble.
If you have played your last high school game, what is something that you will remember for the rest of your life?
The friends that became family, the coaches and teachers who became parents to me, the bonds that will last forever.
