I have seen him murder the ball in a number of scrimmages-great athlete.  Travel ball exposure has given him nationwide exposure!  He has turned down some lower-pay Pro offers thus far.  He appears to be hoping good college performances will give him even better offers.

No doubts that Johnny is off to a great start.  He is hitting the ball well and for power.  He has 6 HR to date with district play remaining. 

To set the record straight, he has not received any offers, etc. regarding the June draft, professional baseball, etc.  That has not even been discussed and would not be discussed less he run afoul of the always-diligent UIL.  He has received some written inquires from some MLB clubs for initial information, etc.  How the draft plays out for him is still up in the air but a good clue would be if/when the scouts start showing up at his games, etc.

Do I think Johnny gets drafted?  Yes.  Will it be high enough to cause him to rethink his commit to LSU?  We'll see but it is an extremely deep draft this year, especially for position players.  I would think he'd have to go pretty high for that to happen.

Also, the ball he hit against Central was a bomb...but it didn't hit on top of the building.  It "only" hit about 1/2 way up on the side of the building.  But...the legend grows.  Gotta love it.

IMO, he is the best all around athlete in the area with Football, Baseball, and Track Skills. Good luck in the next level. :)

no question he is one of the best athletes in the area, and he is definitely a triple sport star.  on the football one i'd have to disagree because im a homer ;D  earl thomas is one of the best athletes in the area also. ;)  you cant take anything away from dishon though, he is without question a tremendous talent and from what i've been hearing an all around good person.  LSU was smart to recruit him. 8)

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
