Press Release from Kentucky Wesleyan College
Third-team All-State guard Travis Johnston signs with Kentucky Wesleyan
Two-time Messenger-Inquirer Third Region Player of the Year joins Panthers
OWENSBORO, Ky. (April 15, 2010) – Travis Johnston, a two-time third-team Courier-Journal All-State guard at Grayson County in Leitchfield, signed a national letter-of-intent with Kentucky Wesleyan College to continue his education and his basketball career with the eight-time NCAA Division II Champions.
Johnston, a 5-foot-11 point guard, averaged 19.0 points, 5.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game during his senior year where he led the Cougars to their fifth straight 12th district championship with a 17-9 record for head coach Todd Johnston.
“Travis is a very intelligent and competitive basketball player that will be very successful here at Kentucky Wesleyan both on the court and in the classroom,” said KWC head coach Todd Lee. “He has two talents that will translate immediately to the college game, he can shoot it and pass it.”
The five-year starter became the first player in school history to score over 2,000 career points as he finished his six-year career as the Cougars all-time leading scorer with 2,284 career points and all-time playmaker with 647 assists. He scored 199 career three-pointers in 515 attempts for a career 38.6 percentage,
As a senior, the two-time Messenger-Inquirer Third Region Player of the Year award winner shot 46.2 percent from the field, 36.5 percent from three-point territory and 84.2 percent from the free throw line.
Lee added, “Like all freshman, Travis will have to adjust to the quickness and physicality of the collegiate game. With his intelligence and mental toughness, he will be able to make those adjustments.
“He has been a leader his entire career at Grayson County and he will be able to do that also in our program as he progresses.”
His other accolades include 2010 Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches Region Player of the Year recipient, four-time All-Third Region honoree, five-time 12th District Player of the Year selection. Johnston received an invitation to try-out for the Kentucky-Indiana All-Star squad this weekend, April 16-17, at Campbellsville.
As a junior, Johnston received second team All-State recognition by the Lexington Herald-Leader in leading Grayson County to a 26-7 record where they won the 12th District and Third Region titles and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen state tournament where he was voted to the All-Tournament Team.
He also was a member of the 2009 Kentucky Junior All-Stars and received honorable mention Courier Journal All-State recognition as a freshman and sophomore
Cougar head coach Todd Johnston said, “Travis is a coach on the floor in terms of his decision-making and his understanding of the game. He simply makes great decisions with the basketball. Travis thinks we’re supposed to win every game, and that kind of mind-set can take your team a long way.”
Johnston is the son of Kevin and Tammy Johnston of Leitchfield and has five brothers and one sister. He is undecided on his academic major.

1st round of the District Tournament
On Tuesday, Feb. 23rd we played Trinity High School in the first round of the 12th district tournament. We came away with a 67-55 win in Morgantown. The win set up a district championship game vs Edmonson Co. on Thursday, Feb. 25th at 7:00pm.
We came out very well offensively in the first half with Travis Johnston scoring 5 points in a row, but our defense was not very good and allowed a lot of easy points to Trinity. After our quick start offensively, Trinity switched to a zone defense and we couldn't make many 3's. We did manage to take a 17-14 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. The second quarter was pretty ugly and at the half we lead 25-21. Tyler Saltsman scored 7 points in the 1st half to lead us going to halftime. The big reason we were up at half was the offensive rebounding done by Aaron Deviney and Dustin Thomas. We had 12 offensive rebounds in the first half.
In the 3rd quarter we came out much better against the zone and made 4 3's in the period, led by sophomore guard Brady Clemons, who scored 10 points in the quarter. We led 47-36 going into the final quarter.
In the 4th quarter we traded baskets with Trinity and won by 12, 67-55.
For the game we shot a miserable 32% compared to Trinity's 58%. We forced 19 turnovers while only committing 8 ourselves. The big difference came at the foul line as we made 26-33 while Trinity only made 8-12 attempts.
Brady Clemons was chosen as the K105 Player of the Game. He scored all 15 of his points in the second half. Aaron Deviney led us with 10 rebounds and Travis Johnston led with 7 assists.

John Hardin, Taylor County and Bardstown
Over the last 2 weeks we have played 4 games. In those 4 games we have gone 2-2. We have beaten John Hardin High School, Bardstown High School and lost to Taylor County High School and Ohio County High School.
John Hardin game:
In a game that saw John Hardin play a box and 1 on Travis Johnston for the entire game it was a great win for us. In this game we had to have several players step up and make plays since Travis was being chased everywhere he went on the floor.
It took us a while to get going since we depend so heavily on Travis to get us into everything we do offensively. In the second quarter we got a huge lift when Trey Tinsley came off the bench to make 3 3's but we were still down by 10 at the half. In the second half Hunter Gary and Aaron Deviney carried us to the victory by scoring 18 and 14 points respectively. We won the game 68-64.

Trinity game
In our last regular season district game last night we traveled to Trinity High School and came away with a 63-41 win. It was our first game in almost 2 weeks because of the weather.

In the second quarter Trey Tinsley scored 8 points and Hunter Gary scored 5 to lead us to a 38-21 halftime lead. We lost some of our defensive intensity in the second quarter but we still won the quarter 19-17.
In the second half we were able to get everyone several minutes of playing time without losing our lead. We led 52-29 going into the 4th quarter.
We had several players play very well last night. Tyler Saltsman led us with 15 points followed by Hunter Gary's 14 and Trey Tinsley's 12. Aaron Deviney led us with 14 rebounds and Travis Johnston led us with 9 assists.

Butler County
In a game that had to be rescheduled due to a snow out in early January we defeated the Bears in Morgantown 83-38 on Saturday night. This win made our district record 4-1 (with one game left to play).
Coming off a big win the night before we were not sure what type of intensity we would come out with but our guys were ready to play from the beginning. We led 16-7 at the end of the 1st quarter but we held Butler County scoreless for the first 5:30 of the second quarter to take command of the game. We led 39-14 at the half. The 3rd quarter was the only quarter we allowed them to score double figures in but we still extended our lead to 62-29 going into the 4th quarter. We took our starters out with about 4 minutes to go in the 3rd and our younger guys continued to build the lead.
With our 6 jv guys getting all the playing time in the last quarter we still managed to win the quarter 21-9. We had several guys play extremely well off the bench including Daniel Buckles, Ethan Meredith and Dylan Vaught.
We were 33-60 from the field for 55%. We had 43 rebounds (Daniel Buckles had 10) and 16 team assists with Travis Johnston having 6. Butler County was 13-39 from the field for 33%, pulled down 28 rebounds and had 21 turnovers.

We jumped out to a quick 18-8 lead after the first quarter as Travis Johnston scored 7, Tyler Saltsman scored 5 and Brady Clemons had 4.

In the 3rd quarter we traded baskets and Muhlenberg eventually took a 33-31 lead before we took the lead for good. We led 39-35 going into the 4th quarter.

Edmonson County
The rematch with Edmonson County was on Jan. 15th, in Brownsville. We came away with a 63-49 victory over the Wildcats. Edmonson came into the game with the region's best record at 11-3, but our quick start on Friday helped us get the win in Brownsville.
We got off to a great start in this game by jumping out 10-2 in the first few minutes. The early start was fueled by 3 pointers by Hunter Gary and Travis Johnston as well as layups by Brady Clemons and Tyler Saltsman. We took a 14-8 lead at the end of the first quarter. Unfortunately, we started very slowly in the second quarter which allowed Edmonson County go take a 15-14 lead and the only other lead they would have all night was at 17-16. During the second quarter Travis Johnston scored 9 points and Brady Clemons hit a big 3 in transition to give us a 26-20 lead at the half.
In the 3rd quarter all 5 starters scored as we build a 43-28 lead going into the 4th quarter. The only problem we had going into the 4th quarter was foul trouble. Travis Johnston picked up his fourth foul in the last minute of the 3rd quarter and Dustin Thomas, Aaron Deviney and Hunter Gary all had 3 fouls going into the 4th quarter.
In the fourth quarter we only attempted 2 shots from the field (making both), but we made 15-20 free throws in the fourth quarter, led by Travis Johnston who was 10-10 in the quarter and 15-15 for the game.
Brady Clemons and Hunter Gary both had very good games, mostly for the defensive effort during the game. Brady had 11 points and Hunter Gary had 8. Brady Clemons was chosen as the player of the game for his efforts.

Apollo Game
We defeated the Eagles of Apollo on Tuesday night at Cougar gym by the score of 63-51. The win moves our record to 7-6 for the season.
Apollo has one of the biggest teams in the state with a 7'1 center and several players around 6'6 or bigger. Another player is a 300 lb center who has signed to play football with the University of Louisville. We knew going into the game that they would have the ability to score a lot of easy points in the paint with their size so we needed to have a good shooting night from the 3 point line to have a chance to win the game.
For the game we shot 22-38 from the field including 10-18 from the 3 point line and 9-12 from the free throw line. Apollo shot 23-46 for the game and 4-13 from the 3 point line but only 1-4 from the foul line. We out rebounded Apollo 28-16 for the game and committed 10 turnovers to Apollo's 7.
Travis Johnston was chosen as the Player of the Game for his 20 points (18 in the first half), 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Unfortunately, Travis dislocated the thumb on his shooting hand on the last play of the first half. He did play in the second half but was severely limited in what he could do. We also got outstanding performances by sophomore guard Brady Clemons who pitched in with 11 points (all in the second half). Tyler Saltsman had 13 points and 5 rebounds and Aaron Deviney scored 9 with 5 rebounds. Hunter Gary did a great job on Apollo's leading scorer, holding him to 8 points. Hunter also had 7 points and 4 rebounds.

Republic Bank Classic at Lexington Catholic
After Christmas we played in one of the two toughest tournaments in Kentucky. We were invited to the Republic Bank Classic at Lexington Catholic. We won 1 game and lost 2 in during our stay in Lexington.
In the first game we played a very good Mercer County team who came into the game with an 8-3 record. We feel behind by 12 at the half, 38-26, but played much better in the second half. In the 3rd quarter we held the high scoring Titans to 9 points while scoring 18 of our own to only trail by 3 going into the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter we tied the score at 61 with a minute to play and Mercer Co. decided to hold for the last shot. They turned the ball over with 5.6 seconds to play and we took the last shot, a 3 pointer from Brady Clemons as time expired. We took our first lead in the game at 67-66 when Hunter Gary nailed a 3 pointer from the wing with 2:30 to play in the OT. We never trailed again as Travis Johnston and Aaron Deviney hit some free throws down the stretch to give us the 72-68 overtime victory.
Aaron Deviney was chosen Player of the Game for his 18 points and 10 rebounds. We had a very balanced attack for the game with 3 players getting double-doubles. Tyler Saltsman had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Travis Johnston had 13 points to go with 12 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals. Hunter Gary pitched in with 14 points and 8 rebounds.
