Roanoke Times story on Thompson


Sounds pretty darn good:

"Blacksburg High School tennis phenom Frank Thompson has been on Virginia Tech’s radar — or should it be ultrasound — since before he was born.

On Monday, Thompson, a two-time VHSL Class 4 state singles champion and Timesland boys player of the year, committed to Tech, where his father, Jim, is entering his 21st season as the Hokies’ head coach.

“I was actually scheduled to go on a couple of visits later this November,” the younger Thompson, a junior at Blacksburg, said. “I had a good conversation with my dad about committing to Virginia Tech and what it would mean to be a Hokie.

“I decided it didn’t make any sense to look anywhere else because I wanted to be a Hokie for sure and stay home.”

Thompson, who maintains a 4.0 GPA, had narrowed his choices to Harvard, Dartmouth and Tech.

He said he can’t remember having a grade lower than A since he was in middle school.

His game has been Grade A as well.

To go along with the state titles, Thompson also reached the round of 16 at the USTA boys national 16-under championships in August.

Later in the month, he and doubles partner Thomas Paulsell of Seattle, won the USTA 16-under national doubles title in Orlando, Florida, their second national championship of the year."
