College Baseball World Series (North Texas Connection)

[UNTLifer]

Little North Texas tie-in to the series starting next weekend.  OU's head coach is none other than Denton/UNT's own Skip Johnson.  I grew up and played Denton Boy's Baseball with Skip, as he was a year or so behind me in school.  Oddly enough, he played on the same team as Tech's Tim Tadlock.  I am not normally an OU fan, but I will keep an eye on them this year because of Skip.

A standout baseball player at Denton High School, Johnson began his collegiate playing career at Ranger (Texas) College. After a two-year career there, Johnson moved on to play baseball at the University of North Texas in 1988 before the school dropped its baseball program. He completed his collegiate playing career at UT-Pan American, lettering for the Broncs in 1989 and receiving his bachelor’s degree in 1990. Johnson earned a master’s degree in education from UT-Tyler in 1993.
 
A native of Denton, Texas, Johnson and his wife, Cathy, have two sons, Tyler and Garrett.
