Lucy enters her junior season at Hackett after earning First Team All-State honors as a sophomore. I’m including her among the Division 3 returning players because that is where Hackett competed last season, although it looks like the team will be moving to Division 4 for the upcoming season. Lucy averaged 21 points per game despite sitting out the fourth quarter eight times because Hackett had built such a large lead. She scored 30 or more points five times during the season and reached the 1,000-point milestone while still just a sophomore. Lucy also put her name in the school record book with a 44-point performance against Galesburg-Augusta. Her ability to consistently produce offensively played a big role in helping Hackett finish with an 18-5 record last season. Reaching 1,000 career points and earning First Team All-State honors before the halfway point of her high school career speaks to what Lucy has already accomplished, and she will be a player I’m especially excited to follow this winter.

Lucy showed one of the more varied offensive skill sets I watched during Week 1. She knocked down a three from the wing, converted an offensive-board putback, and consistently found ways to attack the basket. Lucy used a spin move in the lane that was difficult to contain, slashed down the lane for a finger-roll finish, and ripped by a defender from the wing to get toward the rim. She also showed good awareness after securing a defensive rebound, delivering a great pass ahead in transition. Lucy’s combination of perimeter shooting, footwork, attacking ability, and passing gave the defense several things to account for.

Lucy, a post player for West Michigan Drive , was a force around the basket throughout the Premier Showcase. She controlled the glass on both ends of the floor, using her size, strength, and instincts to consistently come away with rebounds. While she was highly effective in the paint, Lucy also showed the versatility to step outside and knock down shots from beyond the arc, making her a difficult matchup. She handled the ball with confidence and didn’t hesitate to push the pace after securing a rebound or coming up with a steal, often igniting the transition game herself. With her ability to impact the game in so many ways, it’s easy to see why her recruitment continues to gain momentum, and she appears poised to add even more offers before the July evaluation period comes to a close.

Lucy was a top three prospect heading into BCAM Reaching Higher, and that’s exactly where she belongs. I am changing her primary position to power forward because, quite frankly, she moves and shoots too well from three to be considered a center. She drained threes from the corner, releasing shots with sound mechanics, balanced feet, and caught passes ready to shoot. Lucy was aggressive in the passing lanes and took a steal coast-to-coast with pace to score a left-handed layup. She used excellent pivots to get scoring angles in the paint, finished with touch around the basket, attacked downhill to score face-up drives, and dropped in soft floaters. Lucy covers ground in a hurry and has the polished skill set you need to have as a high-level forward prospect.

Lucy, a post player for West Michigan Drive , continues to impress even while competing up in the 17U division, holding her own and more against older competition. She displays polished footwork in the paint, along with soft hands and a smooth touch that allow her to finish efficiently around the basket. Lucy can also step out and knock down shots from the perimeter, adding another dimension to her game. Defensively, she protects the rim well and moves fluidly for her size, making her a presence on both ends of the floor. She put together a dominant showing at the Grassroots Spring Opener, proving she’s a name to keep an eye on this spring and summer.

Lucy won Player of the Week and set the Hacket Catholic Prep single-game scoring record earlier this month with 44 points. Her long frame, mobility, shot-blocking, persistent rebounding, perimeter accuracy, skilled footwork, ability to score off the dribble, and finishing touch around the basket gives the Irish an advantage at forward against any team in the tournament. Lucy will be an elite D1 prospect to watch in District 77.

Reigning Freshman Player of the Year, Lucy Young Lucy Young 6'2" | PF/C Hackett Catholic Prep | 2028 State MI , is giving an encore performance for Hackett Catholic Prep as a sophomore. After averaging 17.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, four steals, and two assists per game at the midpoint, Lucy has taken her game to an even higher level in February. She started with 14 points and eight rebounds in a 44-16 win at Allegan. Lucy followed with 18 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks in a 54-23 win at Martin. Lucy ended the week with a season-high 38 points, adding 11 rebounds, three assists, and two steals during a 57-55 win at Lawton. Lucy totaled 70 points and 29 rebounds, leading the Irish to a 3-0 record. She etched her name in the Hackett Catholic Prep basketball history books on Feb. 9th, setting a new single-game scoring record (boys and girls) with 44 points against Galesburg-Augusta. Lucy is the PGH x Foster Swift Sports Player of the Week for Feb. 1st-7th.

Lucy made an immediate impact as a freshman last season, earning First Team All-State honors and proving she’s already among the elite in Division 3. The 6-foot-2 standout showcased her all-around game by averaging 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.7 steals per contest, while breaking Hackett’s single-game scoring record with a 41-point performance. Remarkably consistent, she hit double figures in every one of her 24 games and scored 20 or more in 14 of them, helping her team set new school marks for most consecutive wins (16) and most victories in a season (20). With multiple Division I offers already in hand—and plenty more sure to come—Lucy is poised for another dominant season as she looks to lead Hackett to a district title and a deep postseason run, firmly placing herself in the mix for Division 3 Player of the Year honors.

Lucy was unstoppable Friday evening at The Smoke, turning in a commanding performance for Macon 6. She controlled the game on both ends with her smooth footwork, soft touch in the paint, and ability to rim run for easy finishes. Defensively, she anchored the interior, swatting shots and shutting down drives with her presence around the basket.

Lucy is Michigan’s top forward prospect in the 2028 class, and she provided plenty of material to support that ranking at the Cagers Invitational. She averaged 16.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 steals, two blocks, and shot 62% from the field as the team finished 5-0. Lucy faced athletic 6-foot defenders in her final game and elevated her play to meet the challenge. Lucy used a jab to freeze her defender on the perimeter, accelerated with her dribble, then scored an acrobatic high-pick-up eurostep layup through contact. She showed her perimeter shooting range, stepping out to drain a straightaway triple. Lucy swiped the ball away on defense, raced up the left sideline, and crossed in front of her defender to score with her right hand, preventing the possibility of a block. She scored another nifty eurostep layup off the glass using long strides and was a menace on the defensive end. Lucy walled up to contest shots, blocked many, and used her long arms to disrupt passing lanes. Lucy used effective pivots to score inside and was an offensive rebound put-back machine. The PGH Freshman Showcase, high school, and travel games have provided enough evidence to support that Lucy has the measurables and fundamental development to be evaluated for a potential offer by every LM to MM D1 and D2 in Michigan.
