Randy Johnson, Longwood College '82, Blazes Trail in Basketball and Coeducation

Randy Johnson, Longwood '82, made his mark in the beginning of co-education and men's basketball.  He was the leading rebounder on the NCAA Division III Final Four Team in 1980 and then mentored a young Jerome Kersey in Longwood's first two years in Division II.  At George Wythe High in Richmond, Johnson teamed with another future NBA veteran - Paul Pressey.  After a 32-year career with Philip Morris, Johnson is now an accomplished salt and freshwater fisherman.
