Gamechanger. This kid is a gamer who shines every time she steps onto the floor. Sure, you could call her a 3pt specialist, but there is more to her game than that. She can fill it up from the arc, but doing work on the inside as well also comes with the territory.  This kid is tough on both ends of the floor. A proven winner who is the leading catalyst for her club in multiple statistical categories. A solid ballplayer who is going to be a lethal threat this upcoming season.

She can play against anyone! Braden continues to play at an extremely high level! She currently holds numerous D1 offers. The most recent offers she picked up are from Samford University and East Tennessee State University. Simply put, Maddie is different. She’s an elite athlete on both ends of the court. She has been named in the standouts numerous times throughout the summer EYBL sessions. Keep all eyes on this one as she enters her junior high school season.

A Confident scoring threat that plays with tons of poise. She can knock it down from multiple levels, scorching the bottom of the net. She has been an integral part of the CAK attack, leading them deep into tournament contention ever since she has been in the program. She is always refining her game, and you better believe this year there will be a different outcome. This young lady is solid, and her talent, as well as work ethic, is going to take her a long way.

 Let’s just say her body of work is becoming legendary. People at first wrote off this CAK squad, yet this young lady has just put her head down and grinded through her career. She’s a tough ball player who can score it consistently from all three levels. Her team feeds off her energy and her contributions uplifts those around her. Teams have thrown different looks at her multiple times and all she has done is adjusted and exploited them. MB is climbing up the charts as her stock is heating up. It’s tournament time and this is really when she comes alive even more. Next level kid who is very talented.

On Saturday night, the Miss Tennessee finalist led the Ladies Warriors to victory draining 22 points and grabbing seven boards. The win over Grace Christian (Knoxville) was awesome and helped propel CAK to a higher seed in the tournament. MB is the real deal and the more she plays, the better she gets. She was hot from multiple spots from the field as GCA tried to slow her down. Look for her to continue to scorch the nets and keep this Lady Warriors train rolling.

The first and second quarter pass from Thompson to Braden was a highlight! Maddie is a different talent that is athletically gifted. She has great length and can hang in the air with anyone! She’s crafty and fun to watch. Defensively, she uses her length and active hands to create turnovers and steals. Can we mention the beautiful block that she made in the 2nd quarter? She continues to do it all on the court! She was exceptional with finding the open spot and getting numerous buckets that she made look easy! Remember, “Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision.” Braden is the district tournament MVP champion!

 It takes hard work and consistency, which is what this young lady has done to get to this point. She has outworked many and has molded herself into a fine prospect to watch. This kid is solid and is willing to do battle whenever and wherever. A 3-level scoring threat who doesn’t get a lot of publicity, however, knows how to be a leader amongst many. She is solid on both ends of the floor, a selfless person who knows what to do and what the team needs to obtain a victory. Team over Me, though this is a mantra, MB stands by it as she elevates her game and those around her. She went from being little-known to must-be-seen. A stud of a player who continues to grow and shine all together.

Confident kid who is a sharpshooter like no other. Putting up impressive numbers such as 19ppg, 4rpg, 2 asg, and averaging two steals on the defensive end. She got a taste of success last year and she has been in the lab on a mission. Look for her to continue on this trajectory and help lead CAK to the top of the mountain.

A few gyms may have been closed the past few days due to the weather, but I can assure you that Maddie found a way to pick up a basketball! Braden is one of the athletes in the state of Tennessee that should have all eyes on her. She is averaging over 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals per game. She is an offensive threat from every angle. I love her handles, her footwork, and her ability to score at will no matter who defends her. She is incredibly skilled and does it all at a high level. She has great size and length for the guard position. She defends at a high level and she makes athletes around her better! I love what Maddie Braden Maddie Braden 5'11" | SG CAK | 2027 State TN brings! Yes, every college coach at every level should be toning in!

Nothing but net, she was in her bag Tuesday night, displaying an excellent scoring effort. 28 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, she contributed in each and every stat line, being the X factor in her team’s victory. Maddie is an impressive player who gets after it. Her game has elevated each and every year. A heady basketball player who is hard to slow down, hints look at what she did last night. Look for Maddie to continue on this trajectory and help her club stack wins as they break down barriers and even more milestones. Solid kid whose stock is rising.
