"I played Clark my freshman year and my sophomore year," Johnson told Complex in an interview. "I'm a junior, and so first year, freshman year, we got it. Second year, she got me. So me and Caitlin, we one and one right now. I got to wait until I get into the league to break that tie."

This kind of competitive spirit is what fans of the game love to see. And Johnson went on to praise Clark too, saying, "She's definitely the hardest opponent I've ever had to play. She was able to just facilitate. She's like the best passer I think I’ve ever played against, ever in my life. Her and Georgia Amoore, they can really pass. I really respect the game, and I respect her skill."
