Fabulous freshman

Maddyn Greenway, a ninth grader at Providence Academy in Plymouth, races past Hill-Murray defenders on her way to a layup during a game Jan. 20 at Providence Academy. She is one of 20 high school freshman girls basketball players nationwide who were selected for a poll by SBLive, a high school sports media outlet in partnership with Sports Illustrated, to name the top freshman girls basketball player in the country. The names and biographies of the 20 girls were posted online, and people across the country were encouraged to vote for their favorite. Greenway received 4,353 votes and placed fourth in the poll. This is her third year on the varsity team at Providence. She reached 1,000 points last year and has 1,732 total. She is closing in on the school record of 1,779 and is expected to break it later this season. Her team is 13-2 this year after defeating Hill-Murray 87-52. Greenway scored 25 points in the game and is averaging 29.7 points per game this season. “To be mentioned in the same breath as some of these girls (on the SBLive list) is pretty awesome,” said Greenway’s mother, Jenni Greenway,
