Boys Basketball: It's Official - High-Scoring Nigel Johnson Transfers from Broad Run

(Aug. 8,  2012) - Broad Run High School boys basketball coach John Costello said Tuesday that his high-scoring senior Nigel Johnson has officially informed him of his transfer to private power Riverdale Baptist in Maryland.

"I was informed by Nigel and his parents that he will be leaving Broad Run to play a national schedule his senior year in a very competitive league, in order to better prepare him for play at the college level," said Costello. "Although he will be greatly missed, I understand and respect their decision. As a coach, there is nothing more important to me than the relationship with my players. Nigel is a terrific kid from a wonderful family."

Johnson, who averaged nearly 30 points a game including an all-time Loudoun single-game record 55 points against Osbourn, already holds scholarship offers from George Washington, American, Bucknell, Cornell, Holy Cross, Northeastern, William and Mary and UNC-Greensboro.
