Article on 2010 Prospects Madison Williams and Ariel Braker

The Detroit Free Press has an article on Madison Williams and Ariel Braker, two sophomores on Michigan (and many other school's) radar:

And after watching some of the best girls basketball this state has to offer, the U. came away floored by two young ladies.

Remember these two names: Ariel Braker and Madison Williams.

Braker, a 6-foot-1 sophomore forward, flirted with triple-doubles all weekend as Class A's Grosse Pointe North won its first state title.

She almost messed around and averaged a triple-double over the weekend. Try these averages over the two games of the final four: 19 points, 18 rebounds, 8.5 steals, five assists and 2.5 blocks.

...

Williams, a 6-6 sophomore center, dominated the paint for Birmingham Detroit Country Day in the Yellowjackets' Class B title game victory over Detroit Community.

She only scored six points, but she blocked eight shots and altered some more as the Yellowjackets won their ninth state title.

The U. knows what you're thinking. You are questioning how well she can move since she is so tall.

The U. can report that the young lady moves easily up and down the court and finishes around the basket with great ease.

She said after the game she had offers, but told the U. she "promised to keep it a secret."
