A historic day for all!

20!!!

On Monday, April 14, 2003, the Johnson Boys Tennis team won their 20th consecutive regular season game at the JTC with a 4-1 win over Governor Livingston. Johnson has not lost at home since a 3-2 defeat to Rahway on May 18, 2000. Over the nearly three year span, the JTC has not only hosted 20 straight home team wins, but two Senior Day victories, and a MVC Championship clicher VS. Roselle Catholic, a year ago. Weather it's the cracks, the rusting fence, or just the luxury of not having to sit around in a bus, Johnson surely has a dicisive adavantage at home.
