Johnson family continues Lewisburg sports legacy

The Johnson family name is one of many in Lewisburg that is synonymous with the sports culture that continues to grow and flourish in this town. Go anywhere in the state and when people ask where you are from, the response "Lewisburg" immediately turns into a conversation about sports.

Marshall County High School is known as a championship school that continues to produce great athletes that sign scholarships to many of the best schools in the South. A few go on to have great college careers and play pro ball.
