Demetrius “Meechie” Johnson Jr. is headed home for his senior year of high school basketball.

Johnson and his father confirmed Saturday morning that he is returning to Garfield Heights after spending the last year with the International Sports Academy at Andrews Osborne in Willoughby. For Johnson, it's a decision that weighed on him while watching area tournament games earlier this year to spending time with his family during the coronavirus pandemic.

Johnson's return should make him a favorite for next season's Ohio Mr. Basketball award, which has not gone to a Northeast Ohio player since Justin Fritts in 2013.

With all the uncertainty going on in the world caused by the pandemic, and without knowing 100% whether there will even be a basketball season (!), it's a good time to be home. Good luck to him this year and in the future.
