Memorial sophomore Isaiah Thompson earns MVAL Prep of the Week
Memorial High guard Isaiah Thompson, a sophomore at 5-11, 140 pounds, sparked a 3 game Pacific High Invitational surge after a slow start versus Bishop O Dowd. He posted 23, 21, and 25 points in tournament play, pairing with Brad Evangelico to form a strong backcourt under first-year coach Tom Breen. Thompson, praised for playmaking, quickness, and improved self-control, aims to grow stronger and sharpen defense as he nears varsity starter status.
