Flau'jae Johnson’s stepdad Ameen Brooks proudly shares LSU star’s impressive high school highlights
Flau'jae Johnson's stepdad, Ameen Brooks, made an Instagram post on Monday to hype the LSU women's basketball star. To promote her new song, "Remember When," Brooks shared a video highlight of Johnson's impressive display during her high school basketball career.
The video showed the Lady Tigers standout guard making impressive runs and shooting accurately from the three-point line twice.
"New music 🎶 #rememberwhen Flau'jae ✍🏽💜🏌🏽♂️ #girldad #dadcorner #itsasituation #year4 #loading #now may Allah take you through this season as decreed by only him victorious 🤲🏼 Mashallah," Brooks wrote.
Johnson played basketball for Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Georgia, where she was named Region 6-6A Player of the Year. A McDonald's All-American, Johnson earned most valuable player honors at the Jordan Brand Classic after scoring 27 points.
The 5 ft 10 guard became the first player to have her jersey number retired by Sprayberry after ending her high school basketball career as the school's all-time leading scorer. Shortly after, she joined LSU and helped the program win the national championship in her freshman year.
Flau'jae Johnson has since established herself as a key member of Kim Mulkey's team, helping the Tigers to reach the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight three times in her three years at the Baton Rouge. The LSU guard will return for her senior season where she is expected to take on more leadership roles after Aneesah Morrow left for the WNBA.
