Tami Stallions-Taylor
Basketball (1980-83)

Tami Stallions-Taylor played for the Wildcats over 20 years ago. A lot has changed during that time period, including the addition of the three-point shot, year-round training, etc. But one thing remains consistent, and that is the inclusion of Tami’s name among the all-time best in Wildcat women’s basketball history.

Tami was a threat on both sides of the court. On the offensive end, she was one of the team’s leading scorers, and in fact, set a new school record for most points in a season during her senior campaign. She finished her career with 834 total points, which still ranks fifth all-time. But Tami’s game wasn’t all about scoring. Her ability to make others around her better were reflected in her 158 career assists, still among the top 10 all-time at Chico State.

On the defensive end of the court, Tami was a shot-blocking machine. Her 84 career blocks is fourth all-time for the Wildcats and her 120 steals ranks her among the top eight. She culminated her brilliant career in 1983 by being named first team all-Northern California Athletic Conference as well as West Region Academic All-America.

Following graduation, Tami did student teaching and coached at Pleasant Valley High School before moving on to Ocala Middle School. She is now at Las Plumas High School in Oroville where she has been teaching and coaching since 1987.

Tami and her family continue to be involved with sports through recreational teams, Little League and other youth sport programs.
