BEAVERTON
E ight hundred career wins as the Beaverton boys basketball coach. That was the milestone longstanding coach Roy Johnston accomplished last Wednesday after his boys defeated the Pinconning Spartans 72-35.
“It is a great feeling to know I have had such great fortune coaching in Beaverton as the varsity coach,” Roy Johnston, Beaverton’s varsity coach for boys basketball for the past 49 years, replied when asked how it felt to accomplish such an achievement. “I have had the opportunity to coach and meet many good and wonderful people in Beaverton and Gladwin Area and around the state. I have been blessed with good health, a good family, and many loyal friends,” Johnston continued.
