Grant Gooch foresaw the possibilities right away during his first Throckmorton basketball practice more than two years ago. 

Gooch noticed a talented forward named Lily Cunningham and right away challenged the freshman to diversify her offensive game. 

“It was during the first half of our first workout, and I said I wanted her to work on her 3-point shooting then,” Gooch recalled. “She was a little shocked, but she has bought in 100 percent. She’s been able to focus on growing her game from the post to getting to the rim to being a deadly 3-point shooter.”
