Before making it to the Philippine Basketball Association fast rising Ginebra guard Scottie Thompson started his high school career at Cor Jesu College in Digos City, Davao del Sur and Agro Industrial Foundation College in Ecoland, Davao City.
Thompson who is one of the top young PBA stars today started the first three years of his high school basketball career at Cor Jesu before he eventually decided to transfer to Agro in his senior year to gain more exposure and experience. After transferring to Agro, the Digos City native Thompson started to get known due to his rebounding and tenacity despite only standing at 6'1.

former University of Perpetual Help juniors coach Tonichi Pujante. Thompson moved to Las Piñas that same year.
