Montini junior center Michala Johnson was cleared to play on Tuesday. Johnson had injured her left knee over the summer, but had not torn any ligaments. Her first game back was Wednesday against Von Steuben at the Whitney Young tournament.
Johnson played about five minutes and had five blocks, two points and four rebounds. But late in the game she went up to grab a long pass, did a jump stop and landed funny on her left knee. Coach Jason Nichols said she felt a "tweak." He thinks she will be OK.
Montini won 44-41.
