Bio

The Gutter RDP Athlete of the Week for October 30, 2023

Peighton Melton and the Queens Basketball team have been rolling as of late. After a sweep of the Ambrose University Lions, they are currently sitting with a 4-0 record which puts them near the top of the South Division. The Queens also have continued their winning ways from the previous season as they now sit with 16 consecutive wins with their last loss in the regular season on November 25, 2022. Four teams, including the RDP Queens, remain undefeated in the ACAC Women’s Basketball division. Three of these teams are in the South Division.

Melton has been a huge part of their success so far this season specifically in their two victories against the Lions this past weekend. She put up 18 points on Friday and followed this up with a 17-point performance on the next day. Melton was awarded the player of the game on Saturday in Calgary. In both these games against Ambrose University, she led her team in points.

Four games into the season, Melton is averaging 5.5 rebounds per game and 14.8 points per game while shooting 73 percent from the field which is the top percentage in the ACAC after this past weekend of action.

The Queens will be hosting two different teams this weekend. On Friday, they will welcome the Northwestern Polytechnic Wolves to the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre, followed by the NAIT Ooks making a stop in Red Deer on Saturday evening. Both games will tip off just after 6 pm.

Congratulations Peighton and keep dominating the paint on defence and offence.

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!
