#4 – Tyrone Johnson – 2010 -
1,000+ point scorer, the 2nd leading scorer
of all time – First Team All State – Transferred to Montrose Christian in his
senior year where he led that school to the National Championship over National
Power Oak Hill Academy. Johnson
dominated the 4th period and overtime to earn ESPN Rise MVP award in
front of a Nationally televised audience.
Earned a scholarship to Villanova University. Tyrone has since transferred to the University of South Carolina
of the SEC. Most fanatics believe if
Johnson finished his career at Plainfield, he would have been the greatest
scorer and greatest player from Plainfield High and may have guided Plainfield
to overcome the powerful St. Anthony’s basketball team in the Tournament of
Champions Final. Tyrone also led his
Pop Warner team to the National Championship Game at Disney World and started
at the Quarterback position as a freshman and as a sophomore in which he helped
Plainfield gain a playoff berth.
Johnson is only 1 of 2 players in the history of Plainfield Basketball
to be named 1st team All-State as an underclassman.
