Freshman Christian Johnson scores 22 points in leading View Park Prep to a state Division IV championship at Golden 1 Center. (Nick Koza)There’s no way to explain the extraordinary sight of a high school freshman shooting the ball so well at an NBA arena other than practice makes perfect. That’s the explanation by Christian Johnson of View Park Prep after what he accomplished Friday at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. “When you play as much as I do, it gets easier,” he said. Johnson, a 16-year-old point guard, scored 18 of his game-high 22 points in the first half to lead View Park Prep to its first state championship since the school opened in 2004 with a 74-62 win over San Francisco Stuart Hall in the Division IV final.
