The old adage is that big time players step up in big time games. Another is that they also show up in big time moments. Thomas did so on Monday evening in a hotly contested matchup at Abbeville by scoring 20 points to lift her Calhoun Falls Charter assembling over the Panthers with the final being 36-33. Thomas – in the Blue Flashes’ final possession of the contest – connected on a game-winning 3-pointer. Even throughout the game when she struggled to find ways around Abbeville’s tough defense, Thomas still managed to find driving lanes in addition to drawing contact to get to the free throw line.

The Blue Flashes emerged as a team to beat last season and one can certainly expect that 2021-22 success will certainly translate well into this season. She ran on the grassroots circuit this past spring and summer with County Line Elite. Thomas is also a potent scorer and one way she does this is via her proficiency from behind the 3-point line. She can throw defenders off balance with how she finishes at the rim. Thomas also has impeccable ball handling capabilities. As she enters her sophomore season at Calhoun Falls Charter, even bigger things are expected from this rising star.

While Gillam will be the focal point of a Blue Flashes team that is on the rise, she will not be doing it all by herself. Thomas spent some time this recently finished AAU season running grassroots with County Line Elite. She too is capable of putting crooked numbers on the scoreboard and one way she accomplishes this is by her proficiency from behind the 3-point arc. Thomas has no issues as well penetrating to the rim and finishing at the cup amongst a sea of opposing defenders. Add in ball handling skills and one has the ingredients of a player that should have plenty a Calhoun Falls Charter fan pumped about the possibilities in the coming seasons.
