Albany State star guard Thomas leaving program for Valdosta State

ALBANY, Georgia  — Albany State women’s basketball coach Robert Skinner called April Thomas the best scorer to come through ASU in his 23 years with the program.

And now Thomas, a former Bainbridge star and rising junior, is headed to one of the Lady Rams’ biggest rivals.
 
Thomas confirmed to The Herald on Tuesday that she is transferring to Valdosta State, leaving behind an Albany State team that she had become the cornerstone of.
 
“We are going to miss her,” Skinner said. “It’s going to be hard to replace that kind of scoring. Her ability to score with her size was phenomenal. Since I have been coaching here, I haven’t had a shooter her size that can score like her.”
