Austin Johnson

North Idaho College

Johnson, a 6-foot-4 sophomore transfer guard from College of Southern Idaho, had 19 points, five rebounds and three assists in the Cardinals 91-73 win over visiting CSI on Saturday at Rolly Williams Court. “Austin is really starting to embrace our team culture,” NIC men’s basketball coach Corey Symons said. “He is one of our top defenders and is buying into doing whatever we need him to do. He had a great game against his former team and brought a lot of energy and effort to our team.”
