01 Feb 2025 Jeryn Thomas – Conway Christian (501 Basketball Team 2025)

Conway Christian senior guard Jeryn Thomas is the kind of player every coach dreams of having on their team. Described by Conway Christian Head Coach Austin Trembley as “extremely athletic and a very versatile player on both offense and defense,” Thomas brings energy and focus to every aspect of the game.

“Jeryn handles the ball very well and does a great job of breaking down the defense and getting to the paint,” the coach said. “He’s also a phenomenal defender who can stifle the opposing team’s best player. He has a very high motor and is a fierce competitor from the jump ball until the final buzzer.”

A three-time All-Conference player, Thomas has been a cornerstone for Conway Christian. Last season, he guarded the opposition’s top players while attacking the rim with his athleticism and rebounding on both ends of the court.

Off the court, Thomas channels his competitive spirit into rodeo, competing in calf roping alongside his father.

His goals for his senior season are clear. “I would like to play in a state championship,” he said. “We want to make it to the championship game, and we’ll do that by everyone buying in and playing their role to the best of their ability.”

Trembley summed up what makes Thomas special: “Jeryn’s best attribute is his motor. He only cares about one thing — winning!” 

Thomas led the Conway Christian football team to the program’s first state championship in December. With his dynamic skill set and unwavering drive, he inspires others at Conway Christian.
