Challengers to don pink Friday in mother’s memory
The Cascade Christian boys basketball team members will pay their respects tonight to the mother of team manager Micah Johnson and the wife of avid fan Robert Johnson. Rosann Johnson passed away on Jan. 3 following a heart attack the night before.
Micah, a 2008 graduate of the school and a student at Rogue Community College, learned of the heart attack as he rode home with Challengers coach Brian Morse after a win at Rogue River. He got a text message from his father that his mother was sick and in the hospital. Micah learned the details when he called moments later. Mrose then pulled the van over and everyone prayed.
Morse dropped a couple passengers off and he and Micah went to Rogue Valley Medical Center, where they stayed until 2 a.m. They returned the next day, and Rosann died in the afternoon.
“I felt privileged that we could be there with him,” says Morse. “When that happened, he needed the support of the coaches and players. It really did help him.”
The Challengers will wear pink shirts in Rosann’s honor prior to tonight’s 7:30 home game against Reedsport. There will be a poster at the gym entrance with photos of her, and they’ll have a moment of silence before the game.
On the back of the players’ pink T-shirts will be a memory verse from Romans 8:28:
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
