  When you move on to four A, you're talking about chalk Tall Central senior
• 0:04
  Madison Bell. She is the jake. She's just the latest to come out
• 0:10
  of that. They've got a youth program over there on the reservation that has
• 0:14
  you know, like two hundred girls in it, and they've played basketball day
• 0:17
  and night growing up. They all play the same system, so they learn
• 0:21
  it coming up, and Madison Bell is she's the engine that makes that.
• 0:26
  You know, She's the oil that makes that engine. Per what I'm trying
• 0:30
  to say. She is just a fantastic player. Her numbers don't jump off
• 0:34
  the page you like they do some of the other girls on this list,
• 0:37
  but Chocktaw Central spreads it around so much, and I don't think the committee
• 0:40
  held that against her. I mean, she's averaging thirteen points the game of
• 0:43
  three and a half rebounds but for assist, so she's obviously elevating everybody else
• 0:47

• 0:52
  I was unaware until they told me just what you said. They start these
• 0:56
  young ladies and the guys what I call theater programs two three hundred people,
• 1:00
  and they carve this thing down as they get to the high school team.
• 1:03
  I mean, to get just on the high school team is a you know,
• 1:07
  kind of a badge of honor, so to speak. There it would
• 1:10
  sound like and you talk about the brand of basketball, I mean it is
• 1:12
  in your face basketball. Yeah, I mean I don't think they have a
• 1:15
  player that's over five ten and they're just dominant. I'm talking about like the
• 1:21
  way they spread the ball around and they run the set plays. I mean,
• 1:23
  a lot of high school basketball, you know it's based on athleticism,
• 1:27
  and theirs is not at all. I mean, it is a team game
• 1:30
  the way they play. And like I said, I don't think the committee
• 1:33
  was going to hold Madison's scoring average against her when they're so proficient, because
• 1:38
  she's so good
