per Marcus:
No two seniors made a bigger impact on Johnson's Gophers program than team captains Eric Curry and Payton Willis, who didn't regret playing an extra year to provide valuable leadership during the rebuilding process.
"My biggest thing this year was just go out on my own terms," Curry said. "I feel like I have nothing to be sad about. I love all these guys. We competed and I wouldn't change a decision for nothing in the world."
The former high school AAU teammates finally lived out their dream of playing together at the college level. The chemistry between Curry and Willis was contagious with their fellow senior teammates, including E.J. Stephens, Sean Sutherlin, Luke Loewe and Charlie Daniels.
"It's rare you get a group with this type of camaraderie," Willis said. "I feel like we laid the foundation for successful years to come."

No regrets for Gophers seniors Eric Curry and Payton Willis after returning to help rebuild
Eric Curry and Payton Willis would have traded individual success for a better record, but it still was fulfilling for them to walk away having career-best seasons.
