Lily Gates brings energy, size, and a coachable guard’s mentality to Mayville State
In the 2025-26 season, Lily Gates is a freshman guard for Mayville State listed at 6-foot-0, giving the Comets a long, versatile backcourt piece with room to grow.[1][3] Her current stat line is still tiny — 1 game, 4 minutes, and no recorded points yet — so the real story is projection: a high-motor, “gym rat” reputation, plus a sports-management mindset and a likely team-first fit.[3][15] She looks like the kind of player coaches can develop rather than simply plug in, which makes her worth watching if you value upside, effort, and adaptability over instant numbers.[15]
