As a prep Toni averaged 10 points, five rebounds and four assists per game this past season for Coach Meechie Edwards' PHS Lions. She was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Mt. Zion Thanksgiving Invitational. Along with being a three-year starter and two-time captain, she was voted to the Mid-State 6 All-Conference team as a senior and earned honors as the Most Valuable Player of the Kiwanis Senior Girls Basketball Invitational.
"We are excited to have Toni on board for next season and feel she will step in and help us year at the guard position," said Coach Mead about Johnson. "She is very athletic and has great speed. Toni is a strong ball handler and shooter who can score in many different ways. She also excels on the defensive end as she averaged 3 steals per game this year."
In addition to Toni signing her Letter of Intent for basketball, she also signed her Letter of Intent to participate on the women's soccer team at RMU-Springfield.
"Toni had contacted us about playing soccer as well in Springfield. After speaking with Coach Mead and Randy Sleeth, PHS Girls Soccer Coach, I was excited to see what Toni could bring to the soccer program. After watching Toni's game, I have no doubt that she will be able to bolster the Lady Eagles soccer attack. With her speed, Toni should be able to break down quite a few of the defenses we will face this fall," stated RMU-Springfield Head Coach Chris Ryan.
Toni will pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Computer Studies at the Springfield Campus.
