Meleek Thomas can score with the best of top talent in the country, but he says it is his defense that separates himself for the rest of the pack. "I take pride in defense," Thomas told the Pittsburgh Union Progress. "The more you get into the season, the harder the games become. The atmosphere becomes bigger. Everything just gets more serious, more intense. So, if I lollygagged around on defense, I would be viewed as a completely different player." Thomas scored a game-high 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds, five steals and four assists in the 2024 WPIAL Class 4A boys basketball championship. "He's one of those one-in-a-kind players," Lincoln Park coach Mike Bariski said. "We know we can rely on him game in and game out to be consistent. Plus, he's a real leader on the court."
