He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made four total tackles.
The victory was the third in a row for Enterprise, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Johnson and Enterprise will face off against Shasta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Shasta had to settle for second on Friday, but JR Wheeler sure wasn't going down easily. Wheeler was dynamite, picking up 49 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
