Maddyn Greenway ended what is arguably the most accomplished career in Minnesota girls basketball history with the state’s top individual honor.

On Friday, April 10, the Providence Academy senior guard was named Minnesota’s Miss Basketball, cementing a legacy already solidified as legendary (Watch: Inside Maddyn Greenway’s historic senior season).

Greenway, Strib Varsity’s 2025 and 2026 All-Minnesota Girls Basketball Player of the Year, finished her career as Minnesota’s all-time leader in points (5,621) and assists (1,304) during her five-year career that included a record five straight Class 2A state championships with the Lions.

On Saturday, April 11, the 5-8 Kentucky recruit represented Team USA in the Nike Hoop Summit, finishing with 11 points and four steals in a 104-77 win against the World Team. Greenway also played in the McDonald’s All-American Game on March 31, and the final high school basketball event of her career will be April 17 in the Jordan Brand Classic.

Meanwhile, Wayzata guard Christian Wiggins received the Bob McDonald Award for the 2025-26 season on Sunday, April 12. The award from the state coaches association goes to the top senior in boys basketball.

Wiggins, the 2026 Strib Varsity All-Minnesota Boys Basketball Player of the Year and Minnesota’s Mr. Basketball, averaged 21 points, eight rebounds and four assists for the Trojans, who won the consolation championship in the Class 4A state tournament.

McDonald, a coaching icon from Chisolm, formerly held the state record for boys basketball coaching victories with 1,012 during 59 seasons.
