STATESBORO - Fifth-year senior Leah Johnson and senior Bukky Akinsola of Georgia Southern women's basketball each will have a very special Thanksgiving this week as the pair will be playing in their home state of New Jersey in this week's Battle on the Banks tournament hosted by Rutgers. For both, it's the first time they will have the opportunity to play so close to home, in front of many friends and family since embarking on their collegiate journeys.
