Tualatin’s Mendezona Signs Lewis-Clark State
6-13-06

LEWISTON, ID-Lewis-Clark State College women’s basketball coach Brian Orr announced that Madison Mendezona (Tualatin, OR / Tualatin High School), a 5’ 10” point guard, has signed a letter of intent to attend the school and play basketball.

“Madison represents the qualities that we want our basketball program to symbolize both on and off the court,” said Orr.  “She is an excellent ball-handler with great court vision and we really like her size at the point.  In addition to her skills as a player, Madison possesses team and leadership qualities that every coach admires.” 

Mendezona was a two-year starter for Tualatin High School, who led her team to a 51-6 overall record including a 27-1 campaign this past season.  She received All-League honors both her junior and senior seasons and this past year she led the Oregon 4-A State Tournament in both assists and steals. She holds several school records at THS including single season and career assists, and she also set a record with 13 assists in a single game.  “It’s obvious that Madison is an outstanding passer,” continued Orr.  “What may have been overlooked is her ability to score.  She was never asked to do that in high school but she can score off the dribble as well as shoot the three.  Madison is a real competitor and it always seems like the bigger the game the better she plays. ”
