ADDISON –– Nico Johnson had done almost everything.
The 2021 Lenawee County Football Player of the Year threw for 1,128 yards and 18 touchdowns while rushing for 1,107 yards and 21 touchdowns at quarterback to lead the Patriots to a 9-2 record in their first year of eight-man football.
The accolades go on: second-team All-County basketball honors. TCC All-League in golf. An almost inevitable All-League nod in baseball as an overpowering pitcher on the mound and a batter worthy of intentional walks.
It’s been a stellar athletic career but one thing remained missing. A mitten, a title of any sort for all of the teams he’s played on.
