We have seen some noteworthy plays over Wilson’s career but she is only going to get better once she gets to college if she stays mentally locked in.

A do-it-all point guard, Wilson can score at all three levels and facilitate from anywhere on the court. She plays bigger than her listed 5-foot-6 height because she’s strong.

Xavier came into this State Tournament as the #8 seed but they sure aren’t playing like it. Last night they took down the powerhouse that is Norwalk High School and their X-factor was Wilson at the PG spot. Wilson made shots all night from all three offensive levels, she took a huge charge to get a key opponent into foul trouble in the second half, and she scored a crucial 5 points within the last two minutes to seal the victory for her team.

Throughout her last ten games Madden is shooting the three ball at a 42% clip, and follows up her offensive production across the board in other categories — including averaging 7 boards, 3.5 assists, and 2.6 steals per game. Wilson is definitely one to watch during regionals and does the little things to be the impact player for Xavier.

Madden did a little bit of everything for CRX on Saturday. Her nonstop motor was on display, finishing the night with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals (including 4/6 from three). Madden looked confident stepping into jumpers and caused multiple turnovers with her feisty help side defense. I really liked how much she affected the pace of the game – she was constantly looking to pass the ball up the floor and even split a pair of Mustangs for a coast to coast transition layup. Wilson is ready to level up during her junior season.
