The No. 34 Thompson wears is a very fitting numeral for any big. Thompson joined the Gray Collegiate roster this year and the 10 points she tallied against 5A Division 2 Socastee kept the War Eagles’ winning ways going by virtue of a 63-53 victory. Many traditional bigs have talent – Thompson fuses together that talent with an imposing presence at a towering 6-foot-4. That in itself not only makes Thompson a matchup problem in the low post, it also makes her difficult to score against on the defensive end of the floor. With that height and presence, she also wins plenty of rebounding battles.
