Tonbara Sports Client Trent Johnson Signs Professional Contract with Montreal Alliance
Cambridge, Ontario, native joins CEBL club after standout shooting season at Houston Christian
TORONTO / MONTREAL — Tonbara Sports & Entertainment is proud to announce that client Trent Johnson has signed his first professional contract with the Montreal Alliance of the Canadian Elite Basketball League.
Johnson, a 6-6 forward from Cambridge, Ontario, joins the Alliance after completing his collegiate career at Houston Christian University. A lethal perimeter shooter, he shot 42.6% from three and 84.3% from the free-throw line in his final season, earning a spot on the E*TRADE Men's 3-Point Championship watch list.
At Houston Christian, Johnson appeared in 30 games, starting 28, and averaged 27.5 minutes per game. He recorded a career-high 19 points against East Texas A&M and consistently stretched the defence with his shooting from beyond the arc.
Johnson's path to professional basketball demonstrates persistence and growth at every level. He began his college career at Midland College, where he helped lead the Chaparrals to a 28-7 record and an appearance in the NJCAA National Tournament. He then played at Idaho State before transferring to Houston Christian.
His prep career included stints at Rise Centre Academy in Brantford, St. Benedict's Catholic Secondary School in Cambridge, and Toronto Basketball Academy.
The Montreal Alliance competes in the CEBL, Canada's top professional basketball league. The Alliance plays its home games at Verdun Auditorium.
"Trent is a shooter — and shooters translate at every level," said Deion Adams at Tonbara Sports & Entertainment. "His ability to stretch the floor and knock down threes at a 42% clip makes him a valuable piece for Montreal. We're excited to see him compete professionally in his home country."
