Watch the national record holder for 3-pointers in a season and a career.

There's not much Carrie Johnson didn't get accomplished on the basketball court.

The 5-foot-8 Collinsville (Texas) senior guard averaged 25.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 3.6 steals per game for the 29-7 Pirates, who were just eliminated in the Texas Regions 2 & 4 State playoff.

But out of all the things Johnson excels at is shooting. Long-range shooting.



In fact, Johnson is not only the best in the nation at it this season, but according to the NFHS Record Book, she set a national record with 175 3-pointers in 2019-20, giving her a remarkable 560 for her career, which also a national mark.

Ashley Wirtzberger made 500 career 3-pointers at Gila Bend (Ariz.) from 2007-10 which was the previous mark. Johnson shattered that record.

Johnson has been model of consistency hitting 3-pointers, especially this season. In 21 games, she drilled at least five treys with a high of 10 which she did twice. Other season highs for Johnson are 40 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists and nine steals.

She broke the season national record of 170 set in 2015-16 by Kendall Spray of Lebanon Wilson Central (Tenn.). Johnson held the previous state record of 155, which she set last season.

Beyond her massive basketball skills, Johnson is also a skilled setter on the volleyball court (2,318 career assists, 1,167 career digs, 209 career kills) and standout softball player (.605 career hitter, 40 career stolen bases, 1.96 career ERA).

French Settlement (La.) senior Dannah Martin (153) and super Ontario Christian (Calif.) freshman Chloe Briggs (137) rank second and third in 3-pointers made. Of the top 50 makers in the country, 21 of them have made at least 100 3-pointers. All 50 of them have made at least 90.
