Thompson’s road to success was not without its obstacles. The 6-7 forward faced a blood infection that forced him to miss all but two games in his sophomore season at Barton Community College. But he refused to give up. He returned to start all 37 games in Barton’s championship season, averaging 14 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
