Long time pool pros, Johnny Archer and Allison Fisher have been elected to be inducted into the Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Hall of Fame. Voting was conducted by the United States Billiard Media Association and both Archer and Fisher were voted to be inducted.

Both will be honored at the BCA International Billiard & Home Recreation Expo which will be held on June 23rd in Las Vegas. The formal induction to the BCA Hall of Fame will not take place until October 22nd at the Chesapeake Marriott in Virginia.

Archer is a four time world 9-ball champion and he has won twenty pro tour titles. Fisher also has an impressive record with fifty three Women’s Professional Billiard Association Classic Tour titles and three world 9-ball championship titles.

Archer commented on his induction: “This is really a great honor. The Hall of Fame has the greatest players in the world, and to be in the same group with them is a blessing. The biggest thrill will be having my father there in October when I get inducted.”

Fisher also commented on being inducted, she stated: “I was worried that I was still a little too young to be elected. It’s wonderful to be recognized like this. I had a great career in snooker as well, but was never recognized for it. I’ve had a great career in 9-ball, and this is the icing on the cake. Begin recognized among the greatest players is something that is there forever. It’s a great honor.”
