Atlanta product Raven Johnson is the winner of the award which honors the top high school player in the country. She has led her Westlake team to a No. 10 national ranking and a spot in this weekend's Georgia State Championship game, looking for a fourth-straight title.

[/B]I should have used blue font and a winky emoticon.[B] My joke was made in the spirit of banner umbrage, Wilson balls, and Boston's interview that pervades this board.[/B] Raven's award was well earned despite the location of where the award is administered. In addition to her great year in high school, she had an excellent year on the AAU circuit. I truly feel that she is going to prove herself to be one of the best point guards in the game under Dawn's leadership. I am extremely excited in anticipation of her donning the garnet and black and expect her to make a meaningful contribution to the team as a freshman. I will follow the party line henceforth.[B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
