Johnson’s players couldn’t stop smiling after Friday’s 19-13 win against West Hall in the annual Battle of Oakwood. Knights senior running back Cedric Harris felt like beating his team’s archrival right out of the gate could serve as a turning point for a program that was winless in 2011. In front of a capacity crowd at Billy Ellis Memorial Stadium, the Knights (1-0) managed to snap a 12-game losing streak and also usher in first-year coach Jason Roquemore properly with his first-career win.
