Episode 20 - Kenny Johnston

  • Summary

  • Sacramento Adventist Academy’s athletic director and girls head coach talks about how he got into coaching as a student missionary in Micronesia, and how he’s built one of the best Adventist girls basketball programs in the country. The guys discuss the proud tradition of SAA basketball, including joining the state athletic association in 2001, and what the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoff structure looks like now.


    Kenny reflects on his team’s section championship run in 2023-2024, including a regional final four appearance, and the long-term goal-setting and milestones that have been a part of his plan to build a program since taking the head coaching position. He breaks down the calendar year for basketball activities, from summer practices to summer leagues to weightlifting. He also explains how crucial it is for a coach's support system, like family, and the school administration and parents, to be behind them when committing to build a program.


    Kenny talks about incoming senior captain Victoria Fowler, his love/hate relationship with AAU as a high school coach, and why he never complains to the officials anymore.
