Dunbar’s Geron Johnson signs with Chipola (Fla.) junior college

Recent Dunbar High School grad and basketball standout Geron Johnson has signed to play basketball at Chipola (Fla.) College.

The 6-3 standout guard chose the junior college over Miami-Dade. Johnson is planning to spend the next two seasons at Chipola, located at Marianna, Fla., near the Alabama border. That would leave him with two years of eligibility at an NCAA Division I program.

Chipola is recognized as a national JC power and has sent scores of players to D-I powers. Current Kansas guard Mario Little is a Chipola alum, as was former Ohio State player JeKel Foster.

Johnson averaged a team-high 16.8 points in leading the Wolverines (25-3) to their third D-II state title in the last five years this past season. He saved his best for last, pouring 24 points and seven assists on previously unbeaten Port Clinton in the 64-50 title game victory.

Johnson was named the DDN D-II player of the year and the D-II state tourney MVP.

He’s the third member of the team to sign. Guard Ryan Bass is headed to Oakland (Mich.) and guard Deon Stewart signed with another JC power, Harcum (Pa.) College.
