A true workhorse on both ends of the floor, Johnson gave a solid performance at Sunday’s Sophomore ID Camp. As she so often does, the 5’7 guard out-worked nearly every one of her opponents. Alyson’s physicality, hustle, and willingness to fight for each rebound, steal, or 50-50 ball made all the difference, creating extra possessions and points for Team 6. While at times she may have struggled to get her shots to fall, that certainly didn’t stop her from making her presence felt. The Andover sophomore brought the same intensity and effort on each possession, continued to look for chances to score, and didn’t let her frustration show for a single moment.

Quick, light on her feet, and highly determined on each possession, Johnson’s impact on the game is immediately noticeable. While she isn’t going to overwhelm anyone with her size or strength, the Minnesota Suns guard (pictured above) does all the little things. Aly defends with energy and heart, creates movement away from the ball in half-court sets, and takes care of the ball on offense with a tight handle and smart passes. Her ability to get her feet set quickly on the perimeter and constant readiness to shoot make the Andover freshman a constant scoring threat from the midrange and beyond the arc. Back at the Summer Kickoff, Johnson scored a team-high 34 points across four games, making her a top 10 scorer in her division.

If there’s one thing about Johnson’s game that stood out to us on Sunday, it would be her seemingly endless motor. Regardless of the score, the 5’7 guard gives her full effort on every single possession. Alyson’s defense is aggressive, high-tempo, and often results in a steal and a fast break opportunity. The Andover freshman is lightning quick in the open court, and pushes the pace in transition. On the offensive end Johnson is equally aggressive, particularly on the offensive glass. She consistently crashes the boards, leading to second chance scoring opportunities for her team.
