Athlete of the Week: Madison Kuehl, West Central Trojans
Madison Kuehl's smile, and personality are difficult to miss on and off the court.
The 5'10" senior guard is heading to Dakota Wesleyan next season, but before she leaves, she has some unfinished business. She hopes to lead West Central back to the state tournament, and to keep her eyes on a title.
"That would be awesome. I mean that's something we have always hoped for and last year we got to the state tournament and it didn't up exactly end how we wanted it to be. But if we really work hard this year, we can get there."
At 18-2, West Central is No. 4 in the latest ESPN 99.1 basketball poll. Last night, the Trojans beat Wagner, 73-64, in the semifinals of Region 5A.
Kuehl started playing basketball in the second grade, and is thankful her mom and dad kept pushing her because she has fell in love with the game ever since.
