Plus: Texas softball begins SEC play this weekend
Texas Longhorns women’s basketball star Madison Booker’s sophomore season is far from over, despite her recent earning of accolades like SEC Player of the Year and, more recently, a semifinalist honor for the Naismith Player of the Year recognition, the award announced this week.
“I just want to thank my teammates, I think they really helped me get this award,” Booker said after she learned she received the honor, according to Sports Illustrated. “Honestly, I wouldn’t even thank myself. I’ll just thank them, my coaching staff, just the whole program in general, just my support staff, my parents, my friends, you know, for this, but first and foremost, just, thank God for a just ability to get this opportunity, this award. I mean, so it’s a big blessing first year in the SEC.”
