South Carolina's Raven Johnson Earns SEC Honors

0:00On March 3rd, South Carolina's Raven Johnson earned southeastern conference defensive player of the year honors from the league coaches this week. She's the fourth game cock to claim that award and also landed on the all southeastern conference. Second team and all defensive team. Johnson anchors the defense, holding opponents shooting down when she's guarding them. Her stats back it up, with 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game on average. Opponents shoot much worse against her squad when she's on the floor, dropping from 42.4% to 38.4%. She's even on the national watch list for the same honor. The whole starting line up for coach Don Staley's team got southeastern conference nods, matching the league record said by Tennessee back in 2, 2001. Joyce Edwards made the first team after leading with 19.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. She's close to becoming the first game cock since Ajay Wilson to average 20 points this season. Medina O'Cote, Tessa Johnson and Tania Laitsen all hit the second team.
