Of all the things Chase Sims remembers from the Battle of Oakwood last year, his first game as a member of Johnson’s varsity roster, it was the noise that stuck with him the most. On an oppressively hot August night, Sims was on clipboard duty as the Knights backup quarterback in the 2013 season opener as rival West Hall soundly beat the visitors 35-0 in front of a packed Spartan Field. The chance to regain school pride, in front of Johnson’s own fans, is an opportunity Sims can’t wait to be a part of — this time, from under center.
