The Dan Key Agency will recognize top Shawnee County underclassmen throughout the bulk of the 2024-2025 school year.

Here’s a brief look at the accomplishments of Johnson and Sweeney over the past week:

Johnson caught 11 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' win, catching 5 and 56-yard TD passes from Silver Lake senior quarterback Dysen Schooler.

As a sophomore Johnson earned first-team All-Mid-East League recognition and received All-Shawnee County honorable mention.
