Former Washington High School graduate Lacee Johnson has co-produced an episode of the ESPN Films 30 for 30 series.

The episode, ‘The ‘85 Bears’, will premier Thursday, Feb. 4 at 9 p.m. on ESPN.

It is scheduled to re-air Friday, Feb. 5 at 3 a.m. and Saturday, Feb. 6 at 1 a.m.

The 1985 Chicago Bears, coached by the fiery Mike Ditka and featuring one of the more eclectic rosters of NFL talent ever-assembled, including William ‘The Refrigerator’ Perry, quarterback Jim McMahon, and the greatness of the running back, Walter Payton, the No. 2-leading rusher in NFL history, ran roughshod over the competition that season, going 15-1.

In the playoffs, the Bears crushed the New York Giants and L.A. Rams by a combined 45-0 score.

In Super Bowl XX, the Bears demolished the New England Patriots, 46-10 to leave their mark as one of the very best NFL teams of all time.

Lacee Johnson is the daughter of Scott and Kim Johnson of Washington C.H.

‘The ‘85 Bears’ on ESPN tonight at 9 p.m.
