Katy Tompkins trio brinks friendship, chemistry to UTEP basketball

Rodney Terry 'thankful for every breath' Wochit

The last time Emmanuel White, Jamal Bieniemy and Kristian Sjolund were playing a basketball game together, the stakes were the 2018 Texas Class 6A state championship.

The last time the three Katy Tompkins alums and close friends were together was a few weeks ago in the Houston suburbs when they were working out and discussing their future.

The next time they will be united will be at UTEP, perhaps in the next few weeks, and the man who coached them to that 6A title game, Tompkins coach Bobby Sanders, thinks the Miners are about to take a leap forward.
