A true combo guard with an elite motor! Lilly attacks both ends of the floor, gets downhill with confidence, and brings consistent defensive pressure. She is averaging 20.6 PPG and 5 RPG, serving as the confident conductor that drives the Pendleton County train!

As a junior, Lilly led Pendleton County with 12.8 points per game, then saw her recruitment take off over the spring and summer, earning six college offers. She enters her senior season with over 1,000 career points and looks to leave a lasting mark on the program for years to come.

Lilly is a highly skilled guard with excellent basketball IQ who makes smart decisions with the ball in her hands. She’s a gifted passer who reads the defense well and knows how to create high-percentage opportunities for her teammates. She has a tight handle, and a quick first step, that she uses to beat defenders off the dribble. Lilly can also hit shots from mid-range and beyond the arc, and she’s a crafty finisher at the rim, able to adjust in traffic. Her stock has soared this travel season, and she has really caught the attention of college coaches, earning several offers to play at the next level.

She is an excellent distributor with the ball and has good court vision. Lilly is also able to thread the needle with the ball on a sharp pass. Lilly is also an excellent shooter with good range. I really like the way she can run the show for her team. (Featured photo above)

Another member of Arctic Rush, Ashcraft is a volume scorer from the PG spot at the high school level but should be more of a facilitator with the roster around her in AAU. Lilly Paige is able to use a quick first step and get into the paint where she’s a capable finisher but excels at creating open looks for teammates. Definitely one to monitor this spring and summer.

Lilly is a jack of all trades type of guard. She can score from all 3 levels on offense and she holds her own as a perimeter defender. She is a crafty ball handler and a gifted passer with next level court-vision. I’ve watched her on numerous occasions and her playmaking skills and ability to run the show always stands out to me. Lilly is averaging a team-high 12.3 ppg for the Lady Cats. (Featured Image)

Lilly is probably a little too highly ranked to be considered a sleeper but she impressed me with how hard she played on Saturday as well as her willingness to do things other than score for her team to win. Ashcraft has good size and positional versatility that makes her an interesting recruit at the scholarship level.

Lilly made great use of her crossover and quick first-step to get past the initial defender. She also made timely passes to put her teammates in position to score; pulled down a offensive rebound, and deflected a pass during an inbound play against Team 2.

Ashcraft is a prospect who has shown she can score, defend and play make at a good level. Lilly has a quick first step when attacking the rim and is capable of getting to the rim or making good reads for kick-outs for open shots. Keep an eye on Lilly Paige for a big Junior season.

Lilly initiated the offense and did a good job finding teammates for quality shots. She was effective off the bounce and found clever ways to score inside. She pulled down rebounds, hit a three, and made sure to slide her feet and not reach on defense.
