Mitch Johnson '20 is one of two high school seniors in Ohio chosen to represent the Buckeye State on the 2020 Bassmaster All-State Fishing team.

According to the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.), "the students were selected for the honor based on their success in bass tournament competition, academic achievement and leadership in conservation and community service."  A panel of judges will choose 12 members of the 49 students who earned all-state honors nationwide for the All-America team.  Those students will compete in a one-day Bassmaster All-American High School Bass Tournament held during the 2020 Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest currently scheduled for June 5-9 on Lake Fork in Quitman, Texas.

Carroll fishing club advisor, head wrestling coach, and Health/Physical Education teacher Jason Ashworth nominated Johnson for the award.
