Whitehall senior Camden Thompson made it 4-for-4 in earning all-state honors during his high school basketball career when the Associated Press placed him on its Division 2 all-state team April 2.
Thompson, the Vikings' all-time leader in just about every statistical category, earned all-state mention each season of his high school career. He led the team to four conference championships, a district title and regional finals berth and a 74-19 overall record in his time on the court.
The senior athlete has signed with Western Michigan University to play football and also plans to play for the Broncos' basketball team.
Thompson again put up spectacular numbers in 2024-25, with double-doubles nearly every night. Performances of 30 points and 15 rebounds against Grand Blanc and 35 points and 17 rebounds versus Mona Shores were just two of his outstanding performances. In addition to his all-state award, Thompson was named area player of the year by both MLive and CatchMark SportsNet.
Of course, the Vikings' West Michigan Conference Lakes championship meant that it wasn't just Thompson picking up first-team all-conference awards this season. Kal Koehler and Brock Morningstar, who had impressive seasons in their own right, also achieved all-conference first team.
Koehler racked up several double-doubles during the season, and a 24-point effort against Reeths-Puffer on only 12 field goal attempts ranked as one of the most efficient nights of scoring in the area all season. Morningstar played an impressive point guard for the Vikings and was good for double digits in points most nights.
Also earning all-conference first team honors were Reeths-Puffer stars Marvin Moore and Brayden Mitchelson, in the O-K Green Conference. From the beginning of the season, the duo were the clear leaders for the Rockets, and one of them led R-P in scoring every game of the 2024-25 campaign. Both consistently went over 20 points in games.
Whitehall's Hunter Osborne and Montague's Kellan Francis earned honorable mention in the WMC Lakes, both delivering solid outings all season. Each was among their team's best outside shooters.
