Jerry Johnson, a long-time official in Goldsboro and surrounding areas, has been selected to work the 70th annual Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas football contest.
The game, which pits the top high school players from North and South Carolina, is scheduled for Dec. 16 at Spartanburg, S.C.
"Having the opportunity to work this game will fulfill one of my goals I set more than 30 years ago," said Johnson.
Johnson began his officiating career in 1974 and has worked state championship games in football, baseball and basketball. He's also had the privilege to officiate in an NCAA Division II football championship game.
