There’s tough and, then, there’s Maddie Scherr.
During Kentucky women’s basketball’s 72-57 triumph over Florida in the first round of the 2023 SEC Tournament, Scherr went down with an injury just four minutes into the game. Well… Went down for a moment. After hitting the hardwood, Scherr fought to her feet and painfully battled through two more possessions before being subbed out. The Kentucky native even forced a steal despite the pain.

After the win, head coach Kyra Elzy reflected on her starting guard’s grit.
