Johnson graduate Adriana Garcia (left), Johnson assistant girls soccer coach Kyle Hyslop and head coach Kara Stracener watch as summer soccer campers run drills on the hilltop

Drive by the hilltop this week at anytime of the day and you might think school was still in session with the amount of activity. From sun up to sun down Summer Camps are already in full swing just hours after graduation.

All This week at 8am the Johnson Girls Summer Soccer Camp takes to the hilltop soccer field with Johnson Coaches and ex-players running drills teaching future Jags the fundamentals of soccer. This is the second year that Johnson has held a week long girls soccer camp under coach Starcener.

Also early each morning this week the Johnson girls basketball team is holding a camp for future Jaguars. Starting at 8:30am and running till lunch Coach Evens and his staff are teaching the Jaguar way of playing basketball with drills and competitions.

After lunch it’s boys basketball and 4th – 9th graders taking over the Johnson gyms. Under the watchful eye of Coach Jay Keller the young hoopsters will work four days this week in the afternoon.

Late in the afternoon the Johnson Baseball program is running its summer camp. Just a few weeks after the end of the season the hilltop baseball field is again filled with the sound of bats and gloves as 4th – 9th graders run drills till dusk.

If that’s not enough the high school age kids are working interdependently this week with current Johnson Volleyball team playing in the NEISD summer league and Johnson Football practicing 7-on-7.

The Johnson 7-on-7 team will participate in the River City State Qualifying Tournament this Saturday at East Central High School.

Next week starts Johnson strength and conditioning and softball camp.

Johnson junior running back Darion McElhannon breaks into the secondary on his way to a Touchdown in the 4th quarter of the 2013 Spring Game

The Johnson Spring Football game has always been the signifying moment each year where one school year ends and another begins in the CTJ Athletic department. Johnson’s first spring game in 2008 happened long before the campus was ready and was the Athletic departments first official event.

This past Friday Johnson held its 6th spring game. The Spring game is the first event of the Athletic calendar because the current senior class is not included. Only Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors participate in Spring Football practice and the spring game.

For the second year in a row the Blue-vs-White Johnson Spring Football game has been dominated by defense. The 2012 spring game ended 8-6 in favor of the White squad and the 2013 game was quite similar in outcome.

The 2013 Spring game started slowly with both offenses failing to make first downs and after one quarter of play the score was still 0-0. At the start of the second quarter of play the White team had a drive going but a fourth down pass would be picked off by Devin Sizer who would return the ball 20+ yards.

After watching the Blue offense not be able to move the ball after the interception and a punt back to the White team, it was the Blue team defense that decided to go ahead and get the scoring started.

Sophomore Kyle Hrncir, who has made the switch from QB to Safety over the offseason, picked off a pass and used his QB skills to race 45 yards for a touchdown with 4:47 left in the first half.

Before the half was over it was Ercan Novelo adding to the Blue defense highlight real as he made a sack just before the half. At the break it was Blue-6 White-0.

While the White team struggled against the Blue defense their were some bright spots. Freshman running back Braedon Williams had several nice runs for the white team and showed very good vision and quickness.

Also the White offense ran two reverses to CB/WR junior Fernando Cruz both for big gains.

For the Blue offense junior running back Darion McElhannon was the work horse on the ground and TE Devlin Gilligan had a nice reception over the middle.

The third quarter opened with the Blue team again getting on the scoreboard and again it was a defensive score. Junior LB Andrew Murray came on a blitz and caught Freshman QB Khalil Mcpherson in the endzone for a sack adding two more points to the Blue total to make it 8-0.

The White defense would get into the act in the second half of play as junior DB Josh Mulero would pick off a pass. A few plays later the White offense would get a big pick up from RB Gavin Jones who rumbled for 42 yards setting up the White team inside the 20 yard line.

It would be a few plays later and the first play of the 4th quarter when McPherson found TE Issac Campos in the endzone on a nice play-action pass play for the White teams first score and the first offensive score of the game.

With the score 8-6 in favor of the Blue Squad it was the Blue offense answering right back with an 80 yard drive highlighted by a pair of McElhannon runs for over 25 yards each with the last ending up in the endzone for a score.

The White team was looking to score quickly as time was running down and WR Jon Ruggles made an acrobatic catch to keep the drive alive. But a few plays later on fourth down another sack killed the White momentum and turned the ball back over to the Blue offense.

The Blue offensive would get junior TE Gilligan into the act with back-to-back inside handoffs, the second going for 35 yards and the score.

The game would end with a flurry of offense and the score 20-6 in favor of the Blue team. After the defense scored 8 points in the first three quarters it was the two offices combining for 18 in the fourth.

With the end of the 2012-13 school year just around the corner and seniors ready for graduation the Athletic departments focus now turns to Summer Camps, Strength and Conditioning and individual work outs and development.

The Johnson football program will turn its attention to 7-on-7 football that will start practice Monday. Johnson will field three 7-on-7 teams with the varsity I squad playing in the Alamo Heights league on Tuesday nights and the Varsity II squad and Freshman Squad participating in the Canyon Lake Tuesday night league.

Johnson's Matthew Espinoza runs back one of his two Interceptions on the day during the Class of 2016 Spring Game

The final score of the 2013 Freshman Spring Football game was 12-6 but you could have given the defense almost all of the points in the annual end of year contest. The spring game ends the Freshman year of athletics for the class of 2016 and kicks off the talented class sophomore campaign.

The Johnson Freshman defense dominated from the start of the 4 quarter game played on the hilltop by holding the offence to 4 three-and-outs. It was the second quarter before the White Team (Offence) could pick up a first down as QB Nathan Therien would find TE Zayed Arredondo over the middle for a nice gain.

That drive would end on a interception the first of many for the Blue Team defense.

It would bee the last play of the half but the offense would get on the board on a 12 yard fade route from Therien to Drake Flores in the corner of the endzone. As the two team broke for halftime the score was 6-0.

The second half would start with a interception by Justin Gutierrez and he would run the ball back inside the 10 yard line setting up a second Flores touchdown grab. Matthew Espinosa would record back to back interceptions running the total to four.

On the final play of the game Garrett Swann would record a fifth interception and would find his way back to the endzone for a touchdown for the defense.

The Varsity Spring Game will be held tonight at Heroes Stadium at 7pm.
