Tales From The Creek | Ronda Mueller Johnson

Camel Call - Sports Podcast

Before travel ball and summer AAU competition, Ronda Mueller Johnson grew up in Eastern North Carolina developing her athletic skills the old-fashioned way, playing with and against her seven siblings and neighborhood friends. The daughter of a Marine Corps veteran and mother who had played on the best AAU women's basketball teams in the country, Ronda grew to love basketball and softball. She attended the Campbell Basketball School, fell in love with Buies Creek, and has never lost touch with the University. Ronda enrolled at Campbell 1978 and was named outstanding female athlete three times before graduating in 1982. She then accepted a position as assistant basketball and head softball coach at her alma mater. The first female inducted into Campbell's Athletics Hall of Fame, Ronda taught and coached for three decades in Johnston County schools before returning to Campbell as an adjunct instructor in the exercise science program. In the next installment of Tales from the Creek, two-sport star Ronda Mueller Johnson talks with Stan Cole about growing up in Coastal North Carolina as one of eight siblings, her path to Campbell, softball, hoops, her family and more.
