Plymouth Football Player of the Week, Casious Johnson

PLYMOUTH, MA- Plymouth South Freshman Casious Johnson has been a key player for the team in just his first two games this season.

In his first game against Hanover, he had 229 total yards on 19 carries with three touchdowns. His first one was a 74-yard touchdown, then he had a 4 and 39-yard touchdown respectively.

In the second game against West Boylston, he scored Plymouth South’s lone touchdown, as Plymouth South lost 23-6.

In the third game against Dennis-Yarmouth, he scored rushing touchdowns on the team's first two drives.

Johnson has a total of six touchdowns in his first three games in a Plymouth South uniform.

Casious Johnson said, “I feel blessed to do what I love in such hard circumstances and I'm happy people that are older and want to take football serious get to play their last year of high school football.”

The reason Casious Johnson plays football is because, “My uncle played for Tennessee and I’ve always wanted to finish where he left off.”

Johnson’s goals for the season are, “To help my team as much as possible and try to finish where we left off last year with a league title.” Coach Darren Fruzzetti said, “My goals for Casious are to coach him up on the field and in the classroom to put him in a position to be successful later in life. His goals are big and I want to support that.”

Fruzzetti commended Johnson’s teammates for blocking for him so that he can accumulate all those rushing yards. He said, “Casious has had tremendous blocking from Jack Condon, Anthony Loranger, Anthony Smith, Jake Doonan, Vlad Pierre, Carter Reynolds, Zach Proctor, and Tyler Doyle.”
