Every high school kid dreams of hitting the game-winner at the buzzer. It’s a dream very few kids get to live in real life.
Forks’ Iesha Johnson’s dream came true last week. She nailed a three-pointer with four seconds left in the game to help theSpartans beat Hoquiam 55-54.
Johnson’s actually hit two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 15 points.
Johnson has been a steady performer all season for the Spartans, who are 9-9 for the season and looking to finish the seasonwith an overall record over .500 after several down years.
