What a year it has been for Maddyn Greenway Maddyn Greenway 5'8" | PG Providence Academy | 2026 State MN . In the spring she led Providence Academy to a high school Class 2A state championship. Then, playing one year up, she directed a truly outstanding North Tartan 2025 Nike squad to an AAU state championship and a string of stellar tournament performances. Meanwhile, the dynamic point guard has been collecting high-major collegiate offers from coast to coast. Now we are happy to add one more award to Maddyn’s trophy case: 2026 AAU Player of the Year.
Maddyn’s accomplishments are well-known. Ditto for her prodigious skill set, fierce competitive nature, relentless work ethic and excellent leadership skills. As she has grown and filled out physically, Greenway has become even more of a force. The 2025 North Tartan group is loaded with high-end prospects from Bree Bowman Bree Bowman 6'2" | SF Prior Lake | 2025 State MN to Tori Schlagel Tori Schlagel 5'9" | CG Eden Prairie | 2025 State MN to Sophie Hawkinson Sophie Hawkinson 5'8" | CG Wayzata | 2025 State MN and more but it is Maddyn who led the way all summer long.
Of course Greenway wasn’t the only player to earn accolades this AAU season from the Class of 2026. Tori Oehrlein Tori Oehrlein 5'10" | CG Crosby-Ironton | 2026 State MN of Minnesota Suns 2024 Blue Star had a stellar summer and Kate Amelotte Kate Amelotte 5'11" | SF Wayzata | 2026 State MN of North Tartan Nike emerged as a top-shelf prospect in the class. Dalia Thornton-Fay Dalia Thornton-Fay 5'11" | CG Minnetonka | 2026 State MN of Minnesota Stars Nilsen was outstanding, as was point guard Abbie Pietila Abbie Pietila 5'8" | PG Delano | 2026 State MN of Minnesota Fury Blue. Those five are First Team selections. Here are all of the 2026 honorees. Incidentally, these All-Star picks are for Minnesota-based players only. Obviously Lele Bell and Maggie Fricke had an incredible summer for Minnesota Stars Hill but the two North Dakotans are not eligible for our Minnesota All-Star teams.
