Tish Johnson was an outstanding athlete at Napa High School and has gone on to gain national recognition as one of the top performers on the Women’s Professional Bowlers Tour. Johnson played volleyball at Napa, but the Committee had no information about her accomplishments in that sport. She was a three-year standout on the 1977-78, 1978-79 and 1979-80 basketball teams, winning All-Conference honors each year. She was the Most Valuable Player in 1978-79 and shared that honor in the other two years. Johnson played on one championship team and won All-Tournament honors as a senior. She had an outstanding free throw percentage in her career. Johnson rejected two college scholarships to join the Women’s Professional Bowlers Tour, where she has enjoyed great success since 1981. She has been the top money winner on the tour and won many tournaments, details of which were not available to the Committee.
