Gale Bishop was the first great scorer in Cougar basketball history. Although his playing career at Washington State was interrupted by service in World War II, and he only played portions of the 1943 and 1946 seasons, Bishop scored 874 points and was selected to the All-Time Pacific Coast Conference first team. A native of Sumas, Wash., he set a Pacific Coast Conference Northern Division scoring record with 224 points in 1943, although he missed two games because of call-up to military duty. That same year, he was named All-PCC and Helms Foundation All-America and set an AAU single-game scoring mark with 50 points. He was an All-Northern Division choice in 1942, 1943 and 1946. Bishop is also a member of the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame and the Inland Northwest Sports Hall of Fame.
