Comments

[Gerard Johnson]

Grant Johnson did not win a state title in 1988. However his older brother Gerard Johnson did win the title for Owings Mills at the same weight class that you have Grant listed as winning. Grant's titles were in 1991, 1992 and 1993.

Hey Gerard, this is Sean Fox. How are you. Long time no talk. stone2fox@verizon.net
