Freshman Lilly Kerce is making her mark at Colonel Crawford High School, both on and off the basketball court. A dedicated athlete with big dreams, she’s also involved in FCCLA and a drug-free program, proving she’s a leader in more ways than one. In the classroom, math is her strong suit, where she effortlessly excels.

But when it’s game time, she cranks up “Bottoms Up” by Nicki Minaj to get in the zone. Her friends describe her as pretty, funny and smart, and she’s always up for a good time. One fun fact? “I can eat a lot of food in one sitting!”
When it comes to inspiration, Lilly doesn’t have to look far—her biggest role model is her mom, Stephanie Rinehart. “Even if we have our ups and downs, she’s always there for me, pushing me to be my best. I will always love and appreciate her,” Lilly shares. She also has a little sister, Scarlett, who’s likely watching her big sister’s every move.

On the basketball court, Lilly has her sights set on earning a varsity letter and becoming a varsity starter by her junior or senior year. Beyond high school, her goals are just as ambitious—she dreams of traveling to all 50 states and plans to become a neonatal nurse to care for newborns.

With her determination, sense of humor, and unstoppable drive, Lilly is just getting started. Keep an eye on this rising star—she’s bound to go far!
