MarQus Johnson leaves Cary Invasion for the college ranks

The Cary Invasion announced today that head coach MarQus Johnson has accepted a full-time basketball coaching position with St. Augustine's University in Raleigh.

Johnson is the only coach the team has had in its two seasons. He's led the team to a 22-5 record, including winning the league championship in 2011.

"Coach Johnson will be sorely missed, but we wish him the best and totally understand and support his decision," said Cary Invasion Owner and General Manager Mark Janas in a statement.

The statement added that, according to Janas, Johnson's coaching skills and connections to player networks make him difficult to replace and will likely force wholesale changes in the organization.
