Madden's offensive accomplice is Chamberlin who's perimeter skill

Halfcourt also runs through Madden. Bales will aim to  bring the ball low enough that she can either score or kick-out to shooters when the defense breaks down. Madden is doing a lot of quick passes in the process which has produced an impressive career-high 2.5 assists per game to date.

"I love (the added obligation)," Madden said. "I know that sometimes I'm capable of getting the team up and running as well, and so I'm sure that when we be able to get the ball moving fast, and me being on the field, it could increase our motivation."

Madden's offensive accomplice is Chamberlin who's perimeter skill set meshes perfectly with Madden's inside presence. Even though Chamberlin is struggling with shooting the ball this season, she scored 15.9 point per game last season, making 45% of her total shots, as well as 72 triples in an average of 41.

Her passing might be her most valuable contribution, however it is a shame that what Blue River boasts in shooting it is lacking in guard playmaking. Chamberlin's 3.2 assists per game has grown to 4.3 per game so far this season, and the defensive attention she garners helps Madden and the rest of the team's shooters perform well.

"We've definitely gotten a lot closer that when she first showed up. She was a bit shy at first but now, me and her have fun. We're friends at the basketball court." Madden said. "My sophomore year we didn't have a (knockdown) shooter, so the strategy they employed to stop us was covering me in the post. This is how we lost in semi-state. The presence of Maci on  the scene helps greatly."
