Coach Shoemaker says ... "Megan Thigpen is the first Volleyball High School All-American to ever select Alaska for her college home. She is a fierce competitor, talented athlete, and leadership comes naturally to her. We have no concerns about her size as a middle. She will more than overcome what she may lack in height with the size of her `heart'. Remember: It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog!"
