Raven is a beautiful BLACK woman
shes a beautiful woman period
@@feelsgoodman420keep that to yourself next time
@@feelsgoodman420 Beautiful Black Woman
Yes she is
@@otisjenkinsjr.3556 race doesn't matter
DAWN Had everyone crying with her.
I know I was crying 😢
only reason dawn was crying is she was adding up her Bonuses in her head, and it was just to much to
handle
I was crying with her, too!❤😊
I was crying at home😢😢
Raven wore Clark out. That was a masterful clinic of defense.
That steal before the half was everything. Proud of her and so glad she got her redemption.
@@missright9159 I re-watched the game last week and saw that she had a couple of steals off of Clark! I was like you go Girl!
Raven... I was so proud of you. I lost my voice yelling for you.
Raven and coach look good for staying up all night celebrating!!
I love when my home state is recognized for good things and Raven Johnson is so beautiful 😍.
And us Georgia Fams LOVE that Raven AND Sania are from our great state, playing for the BEST team and Coach in the nation!
I like that Raven still has a kid like spirit about her
RAVEN(ge) TOUR ACCOMPLISHED!! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!
I like that
Old news
I’m sorry but she should have gave Raven her props here when he said what changed. Raven started guarding her and that was the pivotal moment in the game
That was part if the plan. She protected Raven the 1st quarter to see how the refs were going to call the game. Once that was understood, then put Raven on her. That was brilliant.
We don't need the media to give us anything because we know what their motives are when he comes to us and our accomplishments in life. We should learn by now that only God is that one that we should get our recognition from and never man.
Stop putting words in people’s mouth. She said they were on a roll and she didn’t want to stop their flow. Their meaning “TEAM” and Raven is part of the team.
She gave her her props by including her in this interview
@@TheDrMinipark load of crap you carry on like a bunch of spoilt children 😂😂😂
Raven, thanks for sticking with it. It is a reminder that we can do it!!!
Raven Johnson is supercharge.
COACH STALEY loves her players.
It's that smile for me.
Raven still has her baby smile. Respectful to its highest.
God bless this, Angel.🎉❤
AMEN, God bless this entire TEAM and Coaching, Training staff!!
😂😂😂😂
I have followed this beautiful young lady's career since her college years. I feel like a proud uncle. Congratulations.
Congratulations Coach Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks on the well deserved win.🎉🎉 You deserve this win.
Congratulations ladies…job well done.
Congratulations Lady Gamecocks and Coach Dawn Staley. You won with style, class and the heart of a Champion. Thanks also to the amazing contributions from Tessa Johnson, Pao Pao, Watkins, Fulwiley, Kitts, Feagan, Hall, Cardoso, Raven and the entire team. COLLECTIVELY you all are our MVPs. You kept the WE in our season and in our victories. Go Gamecocks!
Y'all made HERSTORY! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🎯🎯🏀🏀⛹️🏾♀️⛹️🏻♀️⛹️🏼♀️🏆
Raven has such an expressive face. It’s so funny to watch her react.
Coach Staley did a Great Job!!!
Wow! I love seeing coach Dawn Staley and Raven together. They both have beautiful smiles. Raven looks so proud to be with Coach Staley. There's nothing but love for these two ladies. National Champions!💍💍💍🏆🏆🏆🏀🏀🏀❤😊
I'm so happy for South Carolina! Love Dawn FOREVER! Mad respect for her. Raven played an amazing job. I'm so proud of her!
I want a Raven Johnson jersey so bad!! She really was impressive defensively and was a key factor for an amazing win!! CONGRATS GAMECOCKS!!! 🎉🎊🎉🎉🎉
Dawn staley thank you and Raven Johnson you're the best Atlanta is proud of you
"Hollywood" Raven swing! Love this kid! Raven is an example of classy when you win over someone who has disrespected you! "They go low, we go high"!
Nah I'm going super low ...
I remember when Raven said that after the Iowa lost last year, she got closer to reading the bible and now she is more grounded. I saw a clip where Caitlin started to take Raven's defense for granted and Raven stole the ball to let Caitlin know that she had come to play and was not intimidated. I saw the clip where Caitlin was showing Raven respect last year and I am glad that Raven started to talk to the God of the Bible more and understanding that God had a bigger plan for her life, and it was to win the National Championship. Victory is mine's saith the Lord. Congratulations to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.
@@TheDrMinipark its just basketball it's not that deep family lol...
@@htownblack9184Yeah, it's that deep. The game last year between Iowa and South Carolina created the rivalry between LSU and Iowa last year due to Catlin Clark disrespectful behavior towards the South Carolina team and Raven Johnson.
@@breeminor498exactly it is that deep when Raven said she wanted to quit playing ball after CC disrespected her on national television last year
I am Philadelphia, North Philly proud of the Dawn Staley. She started at Dobbins High School and continued at Virginia. She was a great point guard that could shoot. She also played great defense. Did well as a pro. She is developing a dynasty. She will win many more championships. God bless coach Staley and all her players.❤❤❤❤
Raven is so darn beautiful has the prettiest smile ever
Kudos to an awesome coach and team!!!!
Congratulations to Coach Staley, Raven Johnson, and the entire Coaching Staff and Team 👏👏🏀👏👏🏀👏👏💐 🥳 ❤💃🕺💃
Congratulations ladies 🏆
They sure did💯💯💯💯💯
Dawn is incredible what she just said ..she's is a super elite coach ... I love the chemistry she has with her players
This was a great interview and you could feel the genuine admiration. Congratulations Coach, Raven and Team!!🎉
I remember Raven getting disrespected in that game last year, when Caitlyn waved her away because she couldn’t shoot from the perimeter. What a difference a year makes because she single handedly worked Caitlyn with her astounding defense.
She also improved her shot and offensive skills. I am surprised she didn’t score more.
The absolute best part. . . seeing young people work to improve through discipline and perseverance!!!
That’s not disrespect, it’s competitiveness.
That's so Raven shalom family
Aau coach Hunt
Kudos coach!!!!❤️💯
Congratulations Raven and Coach. I'm glad coach convinced you not to quit. I know that lost hurt but it gave you the motivation and determination to want win. Raven played a phenomenal throughout the entire tournament.🥳🥳
Great interview and recognition for Coach Staley, Raven Johnson and GameCock Women’s Basketball. Thank you Coach🌹
Way to Go🏆
“To get back to this place!” I think the players, truly, understand their parents love and want the best for them. But they also know, their coach Dawn Staley, truly, love them, and wants the best for them!
Great accomplishment! Great coach! Great players! Great fans! ❤🎉
RAVEN JOHNSON-THE BEST POINT GUARD IN THE COUNTRY. DAWN STALEY- THE BEST COACH IN THE COUNTRY- THE GOAT. LET'S GO FOR THE REPEAT!!
Congrats for the Championship. Sheinelle Jones, Great questions for Coach Staley and Raven.
Beautiful!
So Happy for South Carolina!
Congratulations Raven
Congratulations!!!
Yes finally someone gave them their flowers. Maybe I didn’t get up early enough to see anybody else interviewing them on Tuesday.
Champions
A Queen leading a Queen 💪🏿
Raven clamped up Caitlin
Apparently Clark clamped up Raven too? She was 1-11, 0-4 from three with 3 points. Brutal.
@burdphil….obviously you don’t follow women’s basketball because it’s no secret that Raven’s game is not on the offensive end! It’s her defense, that makes her game stand out.
@@taydestiny38 She must not have gotten that memo since she took 11 shots, tied for second most on the team… luckily for her Iowa couldn’t get any of those rebounds…
@@burdphilhere come the butt hurt Clark fans.....
@@gretchengreen5999 Numbers don’t have butts.
omg....Raven is so cute.
Yes Dawn, Raven and the team are Champions.
Dawn is great…..
I want you ladies to celebrate reflect on this season and prepare for more championships, big ups coach Staley from Philadelphia 💪 amazing things will happen in your life when you believe in God 🙏🙏

White anchor didn't clap at all, y'all peep that, I Guess she was rooting for the great white hope team🤔
You just had to inject race into this nice interview. Not everyone has a connection with sports. Don't you ever get tired of playing the race card.
I love the Great White Hope gonna miss her Caitlin we love u congrats to South Carolina they were the better team.
Why get Caitlin Clark when you can get Raven Johnson the Caitlin Clark Stopper.
Raven may coach one day.

I have not watched women’s basketball since the Houston Comets….Now I’ll come back to the WNBA to see the future stars as well as NCAAW BASKETBALL
Dawn Staley #1
Hate when ppl dont research before interviews. He said coach staley wont championships as a player. In fact she didnt. Which what she attributes to her reason for becoming a college coach
Raven is too cute!
Great job dawn staley for making a great team of girls basketball team!
Raven her favorite
This team made history as undefeated champions and all the media talked about was Clark.
Congratulations Coach Staley and the NCAA women's Champions University of South Carolina 🏆
PHENOMENAL LADIES 🙌🏾💐
I am at a lost for words! Just Wow, want he do it?
Whether it's women's sports or mens , there's nothing like being a part of a successful team. Whether it's little league baseball , pop Warner football or college athletics , being part of a team just benefits you so much as a person and in life. So proud of my University. As much as i admire Dawn and her success. My personal belief is that there is no room for biological men in this beautiful life fulfilling sport. GO GAMECOCKS. I love this University, this team , and all these young women.
Ángel !!! know U are A GOAT!!!!🎉❤
