This past Saturday, I attended the 2025 Prep Girls Hoops Freshman Showcase at the Noblesville Boys and Girls Club. The event brought together a talented group of players from across the state of Indiana, and the level of competition was impressive from start to finish. Each player approached the showcase with intensity, making the most of every opportunity to stand out. The format featured both 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 sessions, which provided a great evaluation setting by showcasing individual skill, IQ, and how well players adapt within team concepts.

In the 5-on-5 session, she also showed her physicality and willingness to compete on both ends. Defensively, she does a good job staying in front of her assignment, which makes her reliable on that side of the ball. As she enters her freshman year at Center Grove, Lillia has the tools to be a valuable addition to their offense and a key contributor to the program's success.
