Maddyn Greenway is driven to win, turbocharged to succeed.
The electric junior guard scored 14 unanswered points in a four-minute stretch, leading Providence Academy to an 81-63 victory over Crosby-Ironton for the Class 2A girls basketball state championship Saturday night at Williams Arena. The Lions (32-0) became the first girls basketball team in state history to win four consecutive state titles.
“This game was really personal for me,” Greenway said, acknowledging derogatory social media posts.
Greenway, committed to Kentucky and the Star Tribune’s All-Minnesota Player of the Year, finished with 40 points on 16-for-27 shooting, with six steals and five assists.
