Oak Park middle blocker Stephen Thompson, a former All Tri-Valley League selection, has committed to Loyola University-Chicago. The 6-foot-5, four-year varsity starter decided to go with the Ramblers (cool nickname) after making what must have been a frighteningly-cold recruiting trip to the Division I school back in February.

However, no one has had any luck cooling down Thompson once he hits the court. He’s played a key role in pushing Oak Park to a top ranking in the Southern Section Division IV coaches’ poll, and I’m sure he’s eager to lead the Eagles to the divisional title after they fell one game short of a championship in 2006.
