Head Coach Faith Mimnaugh on MaddisonAllen:
She is one of the top players in her age group in Australia. Maddison narrowly missed out on an Australian Institute of Sportscholarship, and we are the lucky recipients of her outstandingplay. A lefty post player that possesses great defensiveskills, we expect Maddison to control the paint with her reboundingand shot blocking ability. Maddison's high school, John PaulCollege, just won its second consecutive national schoolstournament and third consecutive national state schools tournamentwith Maddison was named the MVP. She can run all day and will begreat in our up tempo game.
