A native of Ida in Caddo Parish, Thomas scored 1,378 points while setting a school record with 697 career assists from 1982-86, a mark that still ranks second on the Lady Demon all-time career assist list.  She was a 1985 All-American second-team selection of the Women’s Basketball News Service. Her No. 25 was retired after her senior season and is one of four retired Lady Demon basketball jerseys hanging in Prather Coliseum.   She still ranks as the best free throw shooter in Lady Demon history with a career 81.3 percentage.  Thomas was an All-Tournament pick in 1986 when the Lady Demons beat Tennessee Tech and Duke before falling in the Women's National Invitation Tournament championship game. She later served as an assistant coach at NSU.
