Taryn is another player who put together an excellent high school career at Galloway over the last four seasons. She finishes as a member of the 1,500 point club and recorded over 500 assists while grabbing 400 rebounds. Thompson was honored as a nominee for the McDonalds All American game and will continue her athletic and academic career at Gardner Webb University in North Carolina. Thompson is an elite shooter, in both catch and shoot situations as well as off the bounce. She has very quick release and does an excellent job creating space with her dribble, both making her incredibly difficult to defend. Galloway finished the season 24-7, 13-1 in their region before being eliminated by Holy Innocents. Thompson also stuffed the stat sheet by creating multiple steals per game as well as dishing out several assists per contest.

was one of the the most fluid and competitive guards I saw on day one. The senior guard plays with creativity and confidence, showing the ability to create scoring opportunities within the flow of the offense and getting down hill in one on one matchups. She knocked down a corner three, attacked space when defenders overplayed, and demonstrated good feel for attacking the rim with an understanding of angles, timing, and how to get to her spots. With all of these skills, Thompson was definitely a playmaker who got the ball to an host of quality teammates who can all ball in their own rights. Thompson definitely stood out as one of the top point guards in the building. Her defense was also top notch and she got several steals and multiple deflections with her speed and basket ball IQ on the defensive end.

continues to separate herself as one of the best shooters in Georgia’s 2026 class. Her catch-and-shoot game spaces the floor for the Scots. She can get to her spots off the dribble and is getting more consistent as a slasher. Taryn’s IQ is apparent as well, passing up good shots for great shots.

Auburn, Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech have offered. Taryn has provided a shot in the arm to the talented Galloway backcourt with her quick trigger. Thompson is a sniper from the three-point line and can make plays off the dribble scoring from the mid-range.

The young guard has a confident game, especially when shooting the ball. She has nice mechanics and is straight up and down even when catching the ball on the move. She showed her mid-range and deep ball accuracy as well as touch around the rim. She was able to put up 15 points on 6 of 10 shooting. Keep an eye on that type of freshman production.
