Mountain Brook High School's Maddie Walter put together a standout junior season, as she was named to the Class 6A all-state team with second-team honors.

Walter made the second team for the second straight year, as the Lady Spartans posted a 16-13 record and reached the Northeast Regional final.

Walter battled injury for part of the season, and missed six games. She still managed to have a great year, posting 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, shooting 50% from the field.

She is now over 1,000 points and 700 rebounds for her career, with one year still to play. The 6-foot-1 forward was also named to the all-area team and made the All-South Metro Team as a first-team selection.

Mountain Brook reached the state final four for the first time in program history in the 2024-25 season, and followed that up with another strong season this past year.
