Three Rivers women’s basketball player Kaleigh “KT” Thompson will have her jersey displayed in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville for the year in recognition of her outstanding play during the 2024-25 season.
“This is an amazing accomplishment and great recognition for KT and for Three Rivers,” said Three Rivers Women’s Basketball Coach Alex Wiggs.
The Ring of Honor is one of the most popular displays at the Hall of Fame and recognizes young women’s basketball players for their achievements in the sport. It fulfills the Hall of Fame’s mission to honor the past, celebrate the present, and promote the future of women’s basketball.
“It’s an honor. It took a lot of hard work, but the had work was worth it,” Thompson said. “I’m going to miss my teammates, coach Wiggs, everything. Three Rivers helped me grow as a person and as a player, it will forever be a big part of my life.”
More than 100 jerseys are currently on display in the Ring of Honor, including high school and college All-Americans from the 2024-25 season.
Thompson was the Region XVI Player of the Year and a 2024-25 First Team All-American after Three Rivers reached the Elite 8 in the National Tournament for the second consecutive season.
