News: Park View Grad, Now Harlem GlobeTrotter on ESPN2 Tonight

(Feb. 26, 2010) - Former Park View High School basketball player Roscoe Johnson, now a Harlem Globetrotter can be seen tonight on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. Look for No. 30 and Johnson now goes by Sarge Johnson!

The Sterling native was introduced to the game of basketball by his father and sister while growing up. His Globetrotter bio also says he was "an outstanding football player – his solid frame and talents might have been parlayed into a professional football career – but basketball is his first love, and as he grew up, he developed a rim-rocking style that will wow Globetrotter fans."

After high school, Johnson attended Allegany College of Maryland for a year before he joined the U.S. Armed Forces, and even though he is now showcasing his talents as a member of the world’s most famous basketball team, he still proudly serves his country in the Reserves.

Johnson's bio says motivation, determination and inspiration are the things that move a person through life.
