Xavier Johnson is a warrior. After Wednesday's game at Drake, he had to catch a flight for the funeral of his Grandfather. Came back late Thursday night, then practice Friday, then played today. How did he handle it all? That and more in our postgame with him…

Backcourt duo of 2021 Darius Johnson and brother/George Mason commit Xavier Johnson getting whatever they want off the bounce
#VaHoops
No layup is safe with AJ in the game, man could have caught a block last night with his armpit. Just stupid, unique type stuff.
Last night he had a chase down block on the baseline, sent the ball to their bench. The recovery speed and bounce are something else.

GREAT GREAT OPPORTUNITY! Take advantage of this if you have the chance! Surrounded by family for 4 years of my life! Big reason I’m where I’m at today!
Young players, please read! Xavier and his family saw the value in our program, and the growth opportunity in a boarding school. Special young man, and a special family. Nothing is a surprise because he puts the work in daily. So proud! Keep working!

will NEVER rank LeBron ahead of Michael Jordan. The only thing he could do to be even with MJ as the GOAT?
"Erase the six Finals loses."
Congratulations to Xavier Johnson for being named to the VISAA Division I All State Team for the second year in a row, as well as a second team selection to the Washington Post All Met Team!
