Lucy was a beast for Great Lakes Grind 17U at the PGH MI College Tour, putting up near double-doubles in every game. She made great adjustments to catch difficult entry passes, finished strong off two feet, grabbed two offensive rebounds on the same possession, and worked hard throughout the games. Lucy caused the defense to put her on the free-throw line with her effort in the paint and knocked down two straight from the charity stripe.

Lucy was a breakout performer at the Headliners Invitational last month, and she’ll be the headline prospect to watch on Great Lakes Grind 17U. 6-foot length, athleticism, physical strength, powerful finisher at the rim, skilled footwork, and tough defense make Lucy a 2027 forward prospect in the top 50 to find during the PGH MI College Tour at Northwood.

Lucy, competing with Team Shock at the P2W Headliners Invitational Showcase, made her presence felt as a post player with strong fundamentals and physical play in the paint. During 3v3 action, she battled consistently to establish position inside, showing determination and toughness against defenders. Her footwork stood out during drill work, where she displayed balance and technique around the basket. In 5v5 play, she continued to be effective—using her strength to finish around the rim and even stepping out for a solid drive from the wing. Throughout it all, her polished footwork and ability to operate in close made her a reliable interior presence.

Lucy was a breakout prospect on the travel scene last summer with Great Lakes Grind . She followed that up with an outstanding junior season for Buckley and received recognition as a PGH Junior Player of the Year. Lucy’s length, athleticism, skillful finishing in the paint, strong rebounding, defensive impact, and versatility will make her one of the top 2027 prospects on the court. Coming from a small school, this might be the first time many college coaches see Lucy play. I expect them to see the potential she has to be an impact player at the college level on Sunday at the Headliners Invitational Showcase.

Head Coach Jared Millarch shared that, “This was the first time in 23 years our girls have sat on top of the conference, and a lot of that had to do with the play and leadership of Lucy Moyer Lucy Moyer 6'1" | SF/PF Buckley | 2027 State MI .” After leading the team to a District Championship, earning First Team All-Conference and All-Region Dream Team honors as a sophomore, Lucy took her game to an even higher level for the Bears this season. She averaged 13.7 points (54% FG%), 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game for Buckley, leading the team to an 18-4 record and a share of the Northwest Conference title. Coach Millarch stated, “One of the best aspects of Lucy’s game is that she typically plays her best basketball against our best competition. Most notably were our 2 wins against 10th-ranked Frankfort.” Lucy poured in 21 points during their first meeting, then 29 points (15/16 FT), 18 rebounds, and five assists in the second game. She scored 24 points with 15 rebounds in a 52-38 win at Traverse City St. Francis. Coach Millarch mentioned, “Lucy is unselfish and has a team-first mentality. The defensive attention she has garnered has forced her to develop her passing game, and she distributes the ball effectively. Lucy will play hurt, Lucy will play sick, and she has not found her ceiling yet as she continues to develop her midrange and outside game; however, defensively and with her back to the basket, Lucy is already a force to be reckoned with.”

Lucy stood out with Great Lakes Grind during the travel season, and she’s kept that momentum rolling at Buckley. Lucy has length, strength, versatility, and athleticism that give her a high ceiling. She battles for inside positioning and finishes with power after securing offensive boards. Lucy moves her feet well on the defensive end and is a top 50 prospect in this class who hasn’t hit her ceiling yet.

Lucy had a breakout tournament at the Cagers Invitational with Great Lakes Grind 16U. Her 6-foot frame, robust strength, and high-flying athleticism set her apart. Lucy bullied defenders inside, pinning them with strong seals to score around the basket. She muscled her way into position to secure several offensive rebounds and finished the put backs. Lucy worked hard to make a difference on the defensive end, which caused many turnovers. Lucy has the potential to become a highly sought after prospect as she develops her skills as a wing/guard. She was an All-Area Dream Team selection for Buckley as a sophomore and could be in store for an even better junior campaign.
