A little more on Madison Booker ('23):
Booker, a 6-foot sophomore guard, averaged 18.8 points and 7.8 rebounds and led the Germantown girls to the MSHAA Class 5A state runner-up finish, the best year in school history, despite being targeted by multiple, special defenses trying to slow her down.
Booker became an instant star on the varsity level two years ago, had a banner freshman season and came into this season ranked as one of the top players in her sophomore class in the country. She is ranked No. 4 in the nation by Prep Girls Hoops, No. 5 by Blue Star Basketball and No. 9 by ESPN Hoopsgurlz in her class. Despite the added attention, Booker excelled all season. In addition to her scoring and rebounding, Booker averaged 2.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocked shots.
...
“Maddie saw box in ones, face guards and double teams,” Germantown coach Jamie Glasgow said. “Early in the season, she would stop moving on offense and get frustrated. She tried to force shots when she got the ball. By the end of the season, she kept moving on offense and took what the defense gave her.
“Maddie is good at every part of the game. She can shoot, dribble, pass, rebound and play defense, and she has size and a lot of athleticism.”
