Whitehall junior Camden Thompson surpassed Jaren Edsall to become the Vikings’ all-time leading scorer Monday night during the team’s 59-58 overtime win at Mona Shores.
Thompson earned the top scorer title with a first-half layup against the Sailors. The Viking star struggled shooting the ball Monday, but still had a big impact on the win, going for 13 points, 20 rebounds and six assists. He now has 1,124 career points. Edsall’s previous record was 1,112 points.
Kyle Stratton paced Whitehall offensively, scoring 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including 3-of-4 attempts from beyond the arc. He also had four assists and four steals as the Vikings remained unbeaten on the year. They are ranked #5 in the state in Division 2.
In addition to his new spot atop the Vikings’ scoring leaderboard, Thompson got some attention this week when a nationwide fan vote on Scorebook Live named him the most underrated high school boys basketball player in the country. Thompson collected over 20,000 votes, edging Ikee Brooks of Hansberry (Illinois) High School.
