COLUMBIANA BOYS BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH TODD JOHNSON

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Basketball season is on the horizon and we’d like to continue our season previews with the Columbiana boys program. The Clippers were a team last season that had to play a lot of young players in varsity situations. Because of this, obviously there some growing pains. The pay off for giving experience to youth one season is the growth they’ll have in the next season. That is the situation Columbiana finds themselves in. There will be plenty of experience on the floor for the Clippers this season that will turn them in to a team to be reckoned with in the area.

Head coach Todd Johnson was able to come on to YSN’s Running Point to help us preview the Clippers upcoming season. He talks with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about the experience last season brought, what to expect out of his players, and much more. Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Todd Johnson is live.

Coach Johnson has his squad playing some of the best basketball of the season so far and they are looking to continue their winning ways with two important conference games within the upcoming week against East Palestine and the team they are currently tied with atop the EOAC, the Southern Indians.

D.J. Yokley had the opportunity to catch up with Coach Johnson this week to discuss the huge win over Beaver Local but also to outline the upcoming week for his Clippers as they will look to take over, sole possession of first place in the EOAC.

COLUMBIANA, OH- It’s “The Nicest Place in America.”  Home to the Columbiana Clippers, and high expectations on the hardwood in 2020.  Coach Todd Johnson has been walking into gymnasiums all over the area this season with a new feeling, one that he and his team are being chased.  The Clippers are now in firm sights in the EOAC, and every team is bringing their A-game when they sit adjacent to the Red and White.

All things considered, it’s not a bad place to be for Coach Johnson, considering in his fourth year, he’s been able to walk the same path as his existing seniors.  Filled with experience, heart, and determination to make 2020 his best, we sat down with the Clipper Captain to discuss the year thus far, and what lies ahead.

Catch up with the Clipper Talk on this week’s Coach’s Corner with Todd Johnson (EP 1.)

COLUMBIANA COACH’S CORNER WITH TODD JOHNSON (EP 2)

/in /by

The Clippers are back and are led by Third-year Skipper Todd Johnson.  The Clippers are still searching for consistency, but it’s the depth of the bench and a couple 3rd-year starters in leadership positions is something that Coach J is looking to pay off this year.

Is this the year that the Clippers retake their throne at the top of the league?

YSN’s Mark Franken sits down with Coach to discuss the year ahead, and what the expectations are for the Red and White.

Are the Clips the front-runners for the EOAC?  Can they knock-off the returning champs in Toronto?

All that and more in the year’s second edition of Columbiana Coach’s Corner with Todd Johnson!
