SOPHOMORE YEAR (1979-1980)
At Dayton's Fairmont High School, Julie Johnson, coached by Nancy Benadum, shined as an offensive star. She truly came into her own, however, at point guard position for the University of Dayton where she also played intercollegiate volleyball. Johnson's strong athletic ability and versatility made her a valuable asset to Coach Maryalyce Jeremiah's 1979-80 NJCAA championship Flyers. A consistent performer and excellent ball handler, she averaged 6.2 ppg last year while her nimble hands gained thr Flyers 39 steals for the season. Packing all of her talent along to Indiana, Johnson is expected to show quickness both offensively and defensively. She should prove to be very powerful through the ability to drive to the basket, and her talent to find the open player will establish this first year Hoosier's keen awareness of the court.
