Halle’s gratitude:
“I want to thank my family first for always believing in me and supporting me through everything. The travel, the long weekends, and all the ups and downs. I also want to thank my coaches for pushing me to be better and helping me grow as a player and as a person. And of course, my teammates, I wouldn’t be here without them. They make the game fun and they challenge me every single day. I’m really grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey with me.”

Halle’s voice on growth through the UA All-America experience:
“This experience has pushed me in the best way. Having the opportunity to train and compete with some of the top players in the country has helped me level up my game and learn new things every day. It’s made me more confident, more focused, and more mentally strong. This environment will show me what it takes to play at a high level, and it makes me excited for what’s ahead in my volleyball career.”
Halle’s advice to younger athletes chasing the same path:
“My advice is to keep believing in yourself and work hard even when no one is watching. Stay coachable, stay positive, and don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. You’re going to have tough days, but those are the ones that make you better. Enjoy the sport, have fun with your teammates, and trust the process. If you love what you’re doing and keep pushing, amazing things can happen.”

Playing opposite to Coleman, Thompson delivered an equally strong performance, giving Grand Oaks two very solid foundational pieces. Super explosive, the junior was a very important offensive weapon for her team, showing great variation with her swings and great vision to use tips and roll shots. Thompson’s swings from the middle back position were really impressive as she was set a very quick ball and was able to hit it with power and precision every time, being nearly perfect in that play. Thompson also did a good job with her passing and defense, but could probably have served better.

The top prospect in the class of 2026 in the state of Texas according to our Prep Dig State Rankings, Thompson will play in the 16 Open division with her team Houston Skyline 16 Royal. A technically and physically gifted player, she masters every skill of the game and is a true difference-maker on both sides of the ball. Thompson has tremendous ball control, can cover a lot of ground when passing and is capable of making impressive digs. Her offense is even better as she combines length, aggressiveness and power in a way not many others do, and very few players are capable of blocking or digging her, especially when she hits a quicker set at the pin.
