Lucas is another noteworthy guard that is no stranger to Division I offers. This past week, Lucas secured an offer from Sun Belt school South Alabama. She has also earned looks from College of Charleston, Winthrop, Elon, Furman and NC A&T among others. Lucas has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader and paved the way for another solid season with 4A South Pointe. Her play helped the Stallions reach another Upper State championship game. During last month’s live period, she participated at Nike Session 2 in New Orleans playing up in class with CP3 Flames 17U. 

Lucas proudly wore the CP3 Flames uniform this past weekend as she was in New Orleans for Nike Girls EYBL Session Two. Her performance in the Crescent City was a perfect example of what to do even when the shots are not falling. Lucas managed to help her team as a ball distributor, rebounder and as a collector of steals. She recently earned York County Basketball Player of the Year honors for 2026. Lucas has been playing at the varsity level since she was a seventh and played in 29 games throughout the 2025-26 season for 4A South Pointe. She averaged 18.5 points, 5.5 steals and 5.3 steals per game this past season. 

The only 2028 that is playing up on Carolina Flames 17u team. She fit right in with the team whether she was playing the point guard or the scoring guard. Kaleigh knocked down some key three point shots at times that were nothing but net. She also showed a nice floater game when she was shooting over longer defenders. Defensively, she made it tough on the opposing team by always being around the ball and playing savy defense.

Lucas showed this weekend that she can score over bigger defenders. She took the ball to the rack multiple times displaying her craftiness by changing her speed and direction with the ball in her hands. The most impressive thing was she was finishing through hard contact. Kaleigh also showed a nice tear drop floater over long defenders trying to protect the rim. She looks like she is set for an outstanding AAU season.

Lucas keys the backcourt efforts for the 4A Stallions. She also recently achieved a milestone when she reached the 1,500-point plateau for her stellar career. Lucas has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader, giving her more experience than the average sophomore. She has played in all 20 games this season for South Pointe and has averaged 17.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.7 steals and 3.2 rebounds per contest. Also among her list of accomplishments in 2025-26 was when Lucas notched her first career triple double in a victory over 5A Division 2 Fort Mill. South Pointe will once again be a scary team when we get to late February – and March. 

Coach Stephanie Butler-Graham’s 4A South Pointe team has put together another stellar season – one where the Stallions have not lost a game against an opponent from the Palmetto State. The star sophomore guard recently reached the 1,500-point plateau for her career. Lucas has played at the varsity level since she was in the seventh grade and has played in all 20 games this season. She has averaged 17.7 points, 5.8 assists, 4.7 steals and 3.2 rebounds per game this season. The Stallions were recently ranked third in the most recent 4A coaches’ poll – only behind Westside and defending champion North Augusta. 

Spunky quick floor general that controls the game and tempo. Lucas has the ball in her hands the majority of the time and is the play maker for South Pointe. She is a three-level scorer and can get to the rim with ease showcasing her crafty and shifty ball handling skills. Kaleigh is also an elite passer and can thread the needle with her passes when necessary.

Speaking of Division I prospects from 4A state powers, Lucas is always present in that chat. Lucas’ latest collegiate offer was of the in-state variety from College of Charleston and coach Robin Harmony. She holds several Division I offers and recently added flag football to her athletic resume. Furman, Elon, North Carolina A&T, SC State and Winthrop all offered her as well. Lucas also was on the Under Armour circuit with FBC United The Family. Last season, for a South Pointe team that finished with a 29-1 record, she averaged 20.8 points, 4.7 steals, 4.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds – as a freshman. 

Currently ranked as the #1 player in SC. This kid can do it ALL!! Her biggest attribute is her motor on both ends of the court. She just keeps attacking and attacking on both sides of the ball. Her speed matched with her IQ is two main reasons she is hot on many colleges radar. Her range and percentage beyond the arc is a must see and she always has a deadly floater in the mid range game. Congratulations Kaleigh on your recent offer from College of Charleston.

Currently the top 2028 in our rankings, one would expect a guard as dynamic as Lucas to garner a sizable number of collegiate offers. Her latest one was in-state and from a Division I school as Winthrop and coach Semeka Randall Lay has Lucas on her radar. As a sophomore, Lucas still has plenty of time to arrive at a college decision but she has more experience than the average sophomore given she has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader. Lucas played in all 30 games last season for 4A South Pointe and averaged 20.8 points, 4.7 steals, 4.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds. Her focus for now ensuring her Stallions are the last 4A assembling standing when March arrives – as well as becoming a multi-sport athlete as Lucas is also playing flag football.
