Mastodons Ink Michigan Sniper

Fort Wayne, IN-IPFW men's head basketball coach Dane Fife has announced the signing of Jakari Johnson to the Mastodons' squad for the 2005-06 season.

Johnson, a 6'4" shooting guard from Grand Rapids, Michigan, averaged 22 points, six assists, four steals, and three rebounds per game for the Ottawa Hills Bengals.

Johnson, who is a pure shooter with excellent leaping ability and good ball handling skills, was named to the Class A First Team Associated Press All-State Team. He is also a Grand Rapids Press All-Area Dream Team member. Johnson has been selected First Team All-City three years straight.

"We are very excited to have a player of Jakari's caliber in our program," Fife said. "He is a young man that truly appreciates the way the game is supposed to be played and understands that we will demand the most out of him both on and off the floor. He is an excellent pickup for the basketball program."
