Coach Brandon Petersen’s thoughts
“She’s always upbeat and positive. She always has a smile on her face, hard worker. Basically she’s that coach’s player. She’s going to go out, give 100 percent and always has that positive attitude. She works and plays by example and she’s one we want our younger girls to look up to. It’s good for them to see someone who’s very humble and doesn’t like the spotlight, but will step up and take the spotlight when she needs to.”
Maddison’s thoughts
“I’m hard-working and determined. If we need to win, I’ll pull out all the stops to make us win. I will go all out, all the time.”
