It seems like just yesterday we were at Jefferson watching the then 7th grade Hamiel play for the first time. A lot has changed since then! From a tremendous high school state tournament performance in March to her recent Division 1 offers and an MVP performance in the Nike 15U EYBL championship, the North Tartan guard has quickly shot into superstar territory. Time after time, we watched Madeleine put on defensive clinics this summer. Leveraging her outstanding athleticism and high basketball IQ, the 5’10 guard is able to tackle a wide variety of defensive assignments. She can guard multiple positions, is highly effective both on the ball and in help-side, and was one of the best rebounding guards we watched all summer. On top of all of that, Hamiel plays with a remarkable degree of poise and consistency. Each game, whether her team is winning or losing, Madeleine brings the same nonstop effort and relentless energy to the court.

“Madeleine Hamiel put together a MVP performance this morning to help her North Tartan 15U EYBL team to a National Title over a talented CyFair team. Hamiel was the only one throughout that recorded a double-double with 17 Points (6-15) & 10 Rebounds. Out of these 17 points, 6 of them came from the free throw line (6-7), showing that she was someone who wasn’t afraid of contact at the rim. She did all over her production near the hoop in this battle and that is because she is natural mismatch as a strong 5’10 CC with physicality and self-awareness.”
