Madison Booker voted Miss Basketball for Class 6A

Booker, Mississippi only McDonald's All-American, tops the list of best players in Class 6A

JACKSON — The MHSAA and Mississippi Association of coaches announced Tuesday that Germantown forward and McDonald's All-American Madison Booker has been voted as the inaugural winner of the Miss Basketball Award for Class 6A.

Booker has averaged 18.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.4 steals per game for the Lady Mavericks (26-2). She led Germantown to the No. 1 seed in Region 4, and dropped 33 points in a second-round win over Starkville in the second round of the playoffs last week.

Booker and the Mavs will face Center Hill in the quarterfinals Friday at Mississippi Valley State University.

The award, designed to recognize the top player in each classification in Mississippi's public high schools, was announced last month after an agreement with title sponsor C-Spire.

The winners will be honored from March 2 to March 4 during the state championships at the Mississippi Coliseum. All 12 recipients will also be honored at an awards luncheon hosted by the MHSAA and streamed on the NFHS Network on March 7.
