Thompson is another big guard for Luella who did a lot of damage inside, on offense especially, against Military Magnet. She was relentless attacking the basket using a variety of moves off the dribble, in one case a nice spin move, and did a job using the glass to score. She repeatedly got into the heart of the defense from the wing. One play she drove left before gathering herself and scoring with her left hand in traffic. Thompson did a nice job drawing fouls and shot the ball well from the free throw line. She also handled the ball very well against the full court press.
