Bio

Mr. Mikes RDP Athlete of the Week for January 30, 2023

After dropping a double-double, which included 20 rebounds off the bench, on Saturday night against the SAIT Trojans, forward Peighton Melton is named this week’s Queens Athlete of the Week. Melton is the only rookie on this year’s Queens team, and she has been a vital piece to the puzzle, specifically as of late with the team riding a seven-game winning streak. The Lacombe native is not someone who blows the team away with her scoring ability but rather with her defensive abilities. She may not get noticed by opposing teams because of that but she sure has been making a difference on the court which has caught the eye of Head Coach Avery Harrison, who has had nothing but good things to say about Melton lately. At the beginning of the season, Harrison mentioned the five-foot-10 forward in his season preview interview.

“She comes in with some really good coaching throughout high school in Queens Assistant Coach Nadine Cunningham. She was set up for success right there. I have seen her grow. Last May, we started weekly practices and she was in the gym all the time.”

Melton averages about 7.4 rebounds per game and over half of her total rebounds are defensive. She will be a player to watch as the Queens hope to continue their winning ways this week and the rest of the season as they prepare for championships in a few weeks.

Congratulations Peighton and keep picking up those boards!
