South Central softball got their 2026 season underway on Friday and Johnson wasted no time getting her first win on the mound and also spinning a no-hitter in her last high school season opener. Johnson faced just 15 batters and threw only 57 pitches in the four inning win, allowing no hits or runs and racking up 9 strikeouts while giving up a pair of walks. Along with her team’s strong offensive showing, she also helped herself at the plate going 1-2 with a walk and two RBI.
