Jared Johnson got his week started by resetting a career high for three pointers made in a game. The senior from Springfield, Mass. drained five of his 10 attempts Wednesday in the Eagles’ 14-point comeback win over Lenoir-Rhyne. Johnson scored 19 points and added four rebounds.
He again would lead C-N in scoring in Saturday’s 24-point blowout of Tennessee Wesleyan. Johnson scored 16 points – nine of which came at the charity stripe.
Bojangles is a proud corporate sponsor of Carson-Newman athletics. Eagle fans can get a free large sweet tea from the Jefferson City location the day after Carson-Newman basketball games where the Eagle women score 65 points or the men score 70 points by telling the cashier, “It’s Bo Time at Carson-Newman.”
