"We've definitely gotten a lot closer that when she first showed up. She was a bit shy at first but now, me and her have fun. We're friends at Mut 22 coins the basketball court." Madden said. "My sophomore year we didn't have a (knockdown) shooter, so the strategy they employed to stop us was covering me in the post. This is how we lost in semi-state. The presence of Maci on the scene helps greatly."
"It provides us with an inside-out punch," Bales said. "Her speed is phenomenal ... she sees the floor with such clarity and she's very humble."
She puts her body on the line to aid the team. She's tough, takes charges, runs down loose balls as well as competes for rebounding and defends hard and often leaves her with the "daily" amount of bumps and bruises, according to Bales.
Madden acknowledged that she's a important asset to have on Blue River's side but admitted it's tough to practice against Loveless. Yet, she makes the team stronger and that when coupled with her knowledge and experience could help the Vikings keep their postseason success.
"Her energy is what we need. Everybody kind of feeds off of her. And whatever she does, she just brings us up," Bales said. "Last year she was on buy Madden 22 coins the bench. She played about half the game. She was the same kind of player, however she wasn't as well-organized ... her game has become more (in in) and has stopped changing the ball."
