Garrison Johnson's mother, Rhonda, was the loudest person inside the Athletics and Assembly Center on Saturday night. That's anything but a surprise for the "team mom" who doubles as the most vocal Jackson State supporter at the few games she attends. But Rhonda didn't make the trip alone, or empty-handed. A handful of Johnson's relatives traveled from Georgia to see the team's captain and leading scorer play the final two home games of his career. Rhonda also brought her pots and pans to prepare a feast for the Tigers on Friday.Johnson, who sported a muted smile while entertaining his entourage after a 63-51 win over Mississippi Valley State, hopes the celebration weekend goes beyond the Senior Day festivities. Jackson State will be crowned SWAC regular season champions with a win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff this evening. "Every day this week, I told (the team) there's no championship without two wins," Johnson said. "It's amazing to be in this position right now. "(But, UAPB is) coming to play. They're fighting for a championship just like we are."
