Hardaway High School senior Mikayla Johnson (@showtimemikayla) is about to embark on an exciting new chapter. After she graduates high school, she will be attending the University of New Orleans, where she plans to major in studio arts, pursuing a passion for creativity and expression that matches her determination on the basketball court.
Mikayla's journey with basketball began in the third grade, and she’s been dedicated to the game ever since. As a standout player for Hardaway High, she has achieved numerous milestones, including scoring her 1,000th career point on December 15, 2023, a day she’ll never forget. This season, she’s set an ambitious goal: to reach 2,000 career points before she graduates. “It’s a challenge I’m excited to take on,” Mikayla says, showing her drive to make her senior season unforgettable.
Beyond her talent for sports, Mikayla is also known for her love of math, her favorite subject. Balancing academics and athletics is no easy task, yet she has always managed to excel in both areas. Looking ahead, she says she will deeply miss her teammates after graduation. “They’re like family to me,” she shares. “Leaving them will be one of the hardest parts.”
Mikayla draws inspiration from her older brother, Mykel Williams, who currently plays football for the Georgia Bulldogs. His dedication and achievements fuel her own ambitions, and she’s quick to add a playful challenge: “If I played my brother in a 1-on-1 basketball game, I would win!”
The most influential people in her life, though, are her grandmother Pamela Lawson and her dad John Johnson. "My dad is the backbone, and my grandmother is the heart of it all," Mikayla says. Her grandmother has taught her to pursue her dreams, while her dad has always been her biggest supporter.
As Mikayla heads to the University of New Orleans, she takes with her not just her talents but the love and support of those closest to her. With her passion for art, her competitive spirit, and her goal to make her senior season one to remember, there’s no doubt she’ll make her mark both on and off the court.

In a story that feels like it jumped straight out of a sports movie, @Asanté Flemister, led his team, the South Columbus Raiders, to a jaw-dropping victory against the previously undefeated Eastway Cherokees. Not only is Asante’ a standout athlete, but he’s also an A/B honor roll student, proving that brains and brawn can go hand in hand!
The stage was set for an epic showdown as the Raiders faced the Cherokees, who had strutted into the game with a perfect season. Fans filled the stands, some decked out in team colors and others cheering loud and thunderous. But it was Asante’s calm demeanor and bright smile that truly lit up the field. As the team’s quarterback, he was ready to prove that his team could fight to victory.
As the whistle blew, the energy was electric. The Raiders quickly took an early lead, showcasing their intimidating defense. But Asante’ (with the help of his coaches), with the heart of a lion and the strategy of a chess master, rallied his teammates like a seasoned pro. With each play, he displayed a combination of athletic skill and quick thinking that left everyone on the edge of their seats.
As time ticked away, the South Columbus Raiders dodged defenders with the agility of video game characters. The crowd erupted into wild cheers, parents jumping up and down! The Raiders were victorious, 32-14!
He’s just as dedicated to his schoolwork as he is to football. Asante’ has become the ultimate role model, showing everyone that you can ace your classes and score touchdowns, too!
With this victory under their belt, the South Columbus Raiders are gearing up to end a victorious season. We are eager to see how Asante’s leadership and skills will develop. For now, Asante is enjoying every moment, and he’s ready for whatever challenges come.
His remarkable performance against an undefeated team, combined with his academic excellence, serves as an inspiration for young athletes everywhere. As the South Columbus Raiders celebrate their stunning victory, one thing is clear: with Asante’ at the helm, the future is bright for this talented young quarterback and scholar! We might just be witnessing the beginning of a football legend, who is #Next2blow Go Asante’, go!!!!
