Pickerington Central's Madison Greene named Ohio Ms. Basketball finalist
Pickerington Central’s Madison Greene is one of seven finalists for Ms. Basketball, the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association announced Wednesday.
The 5-foot-7 senior point guard, a Vanderbilt signee, averaged 15.2 points, 4.0 steals, 3.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds through 26 games for the Tigers (23-4), who will play Marysville in a Division I regional final Friday at Otterbein.
Greene also was shooting 42% from the field and 32% from 3-point range before Tuesday night’s 60-52 win over Dublin Coffman in a regional semifinal. Greene scored 19 points, 15 on 3-pointers, and was partly responsible for holding Shamrocks star Jenna Kopyar to four points.
The other finalists are Cincinnati Purcell Marian sophomore forward Dee Alexander, Toledo Start junior guard Sinai Douglass, Shaker Heights Laurel freshman forward/guard Saniyah Hall, New Madison Tri-Village senior guard Rylee Sagester, Loudonville junior forward Corri Vermilyea and Belmont Union Local senior forward Reagan Vinskovich.
Central Ohio has not had a Ms. Basketball winner since Brookhaven’s Brittany Hunter in 2003. The only other area player to win the award was Pickerington’s Beth Ostendorf in 1995.
The winner will be announced March 8.
