LOVB Spotlight: Grand Oaks' Thompson departs international flight to drive Grizzlies to win
Hours after getting off an international flight from Indonesia, where she played for USA Volleyball, Grand Oaks’ Halle Thompson was back at it for the back-to-back State Champ Grizzlies.
The 9-4 Grand Oaks Grizzlies went across I-45 to face VYPE-ranked The Woodlands at home.
Game time was at 5:30 and the Wisconsin-commit did not look jet-lagged at all.
The Grizzles (1-0 in district) swept the Highlanders with Thompson dominating in all facets of the game.
“I just love volleyball, what can I say?” Thompson smiled. “It was a long day but there is no other place I’d rather be than helping my team. I can sleep later.”
The game was somewhat tight in the first two games, when the Highlander fans started in on the “Overrated” chants.
Bad idea.
