Lily climbed 20 spots after putting together some of the best basketball of her career before an unfortunate injury cut her summer short. Prior to the setback, she impressed with her decision making, consistently seeing the floor well and delivering quality passes to set up her post players and teammates. Cote also got her shot off quickly with a compact release that required very little space, making her a threat from the perimeter. Her strong play led to three college offers since June, and she still has plenty of time to return to full strength before beginning her collegiate career. If she continues where she left off, expect her stock to keep trending upward.

Lily delivered timely perimeter shooting, knocking down a corner three off a Kelsey assist before adding multiple threes later — including one in the fourth quarter that swung momentum. She also converted a steal into a transition bucket, showing awareness on both ends. Her shot-making stretched the defense and opened driving lanes. In the region final, her ability to hit big perimeter shots will again be crucial.

Lily set the tone early by opening the scoring with a three and continuing to stretch the floor throughout the night. She knocked down another corner triple and added one from the wing, showing consistent mechanics and confidence in her shot—she shoots the three the same way every time and can hit it at a solid clip. Several of her makes came at key moments and helped put the Warriors away. Beyond her shooting, she proved to be a capable secondary ball handler by giving the offense a steady option outside of the primary point.
