Talk about a kid who could shoot the lights out. She doesn’t even have to have her feet set all the way, given a sliver of daylight, and that ball is going up and going in. She added to her game, especially over the last two years. She went from being a set shooter to adding multiple counters to her bag in her ability to score. What I love about her is her makeup; she wasn’t afraid to step up in crunch time. She played tons of meaningful games and was an integral part of the Lady Irish program. She will be a great addition to the Lady Trojans program at Trevecca.

The Trevecca signee was up for the task and delivered last night against a talented Baylor team. She knocked a couple of 3 balls down and sprayed multiple shots from the field. She brought energy and effort, and the Lady Irish followed her lead, as she was one of the squad’s leading catalysts. Father Ryan heads to Memphis to take on Hutchison in the next round. You better believe this young lady will be ready to put on a show, as she always is up for a challenge.

When this kid is hot, she is hard to slow down. Her ability to get her feet set quickly marks her as one of the best in the state from deep. Coming off screens to catching and shooting, when she receives the ball and lets it fly, the ball seems to find the bottom of the net. From multiple spots along the arc, she has been able to dial it from deep consistently throughout her career. This summer, she added another attacking component to her game, putting the ball on the floor, getting into a favorable position to either finish at the rim or knock down a jumper. Now, she becomes a kid who can score it multiple ways, someone who will be the leading scoring threat for the Lady Irish. Keep tabs on this young lady as she will be tearing it up this upcoming season.

Maddie Graham Maddie Graham 5'10" | SG Father Ryan | 2026 State TN , at 5’10”, has a versatile skillset on offense.

She is able to dribble at a high level, and her consistent jumper behind the arc puts opposing defenses in a tough bind. Graham has the capability to knock down threes from well behind the line, which leads opposing defenders to guard her way higher on the court than average players. Graham has learned how to take advantage of these momnents when she gets played like this. She has the speed to run past and get off a quick floater, and she also has the IQ to snap a quick pass over to an open teammate.

On defense, her size and speed make her one of the better defenders every time she steps on the court. She has the capability to guard almost every position on the court.

Pure shooter. One who can score it from the arc at a consistent clip. Every time she gets a clean look, especially when she squares up, the ball is going to find the bottom of the net. She isn’t just a volume shooter, but someone who can truly score in double figures nightly. Had a great summer where she competes against some pretty good talent. Look for her to be a top player in her stout district.

Talk about someone who can shoot lights out. This kid finds the bottom of the net at a consistent clip. Doesn’t matter the setting, AAU, School ball, if she gets any room, she’s going to let the ball fly. Once she is on a heater, it’s hard for her to stop. If the confidence is there after she has seen the ball go through the net a time or two, it’s game over. She’s a scoring threat that truly can get buckets in more ways than one.

She’s about to take off and become an even bigger threat this upcoming season. She was battletested early and often this summer, and she answered the bell. Not only did she get better on the offensive end, but her defensive game stepped up as well. Maddie is a kid who can shoot the light out of the ball. I’m talking about from anywhere on the floor, she will let that thing fly. What she added was creativity to her game, especially when it came to putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rim. Defensively, she went after folks, keeping them at bay and securing rebounds along the way. It will be exciting to see her play this season in a tough district. Look for her to be a solid piece to the Lady Irish ballclub. A leading catalyst who will not only lead the team in scoring but also contribute in other statistical categories as well.

She looked solid out there against some stiff competition. Watching her move and how she went about her business, you could tell this young lady is playing with such confidence. She would put the ball on the floor to go get a lay, knock it down from the arc, and was really out there playing with poise. My take right now on her game is that she is about to have a breakthrough year. Father Ryan may be getting a whole new product when HS ball rolls back around. Her stock is about to rise.

I think this young lady is about to become a problem. She was already tough on the DII-A level. Then she transfers and becomes a solid focal point at the DII-AA level. From what I have seen so far this summer, she is about to explode because she is playing with such confidence. This kid can get to the rim, but it’s her downtown threat that scares people. You can’t leave her open or loose her because if she gets a look of any type, the ball is going in. I will say this too, she is a solid passer that can hit tight windows, people don’t give her credit for that. So, taking her body of work and adding what will be a solid summer season, this kid is going to be hard to deal with next high school season. You already know how Father Ryan plays. Add in the circuit, training, and the work she is already going so far this travel ball season, something special is brewing on Franklin Rd.. for sure.

A tough competitor who competes with a smile. Don’t let the smile fool you, though, cause she is a stone-cold assassin who can shoot the ball. Multiple times, she would let that ball go, and it would  find the bottom of the net. Swish, swish, swish, she was like with such high confidence against some elite talent. She always seemed to find herself in the right spot at the right time as she also contributed by getting steals and rebounds. Look for her to come out and have a sensational summer season.
