Personal: Maddison Wells, who will be celebrating a homecoming of sorts, as the 6'1" forward was originally from New Orleans before moving to her current residency in Florida. At Winter Haven High School, Wells helped produce back-to-back 20+ win seasons and playoff appearances: 22-8 in 2013-14 and 28-4 in 2014-15. Wells also honed her skills while playing for Kenny Kallina with the FGB travel team. Kallina describes Wells as a lefty forward who is an aggressive rebounder and a strong defender. Listed as a 4-star recruit by JumpOffPlus Scouting, Wells competed for FGB this past summer in the Tournament of Champions in Suwanee and Nashville, as well as the Summer Basketball Playoff in Charlotte.
