Already committed to play at the NAIA level, Copley is one of the top talents in southeast Ohio. An athletic guard, Copley made an impact defensively with a couple blocks and deflections. With his size, strength and athleticism, Copley scored with his back to the basket a few times just overpowering defenders in the paint. One of the few creators on his team, Copley was forced to some difficult jumpers but did make a couple impressive 3-pointers. Establishing himself in southeast Ohio as a top regional talent, expect Copley to put up big scoring numbers as a senior before making his mark at the next level as well.

Copley is one of the top players in southeast Ohio and having a great winter for Lucasville Valley in arguably the toughest conference in the region. Copley has taken big time steps as an off-movement shooter, running off screens and hitting shots from well beyond the 3-point line.

Lucasville Valley plays a fast style which allows Copley to get tons of reps as he was a leading scorer for their team as a Sophomore. Copley is dangerous as a shooter either off the bounce or the catch and is improving his ability to create for himself. If Copley can continue to grow as a self-creator and become even more deadly on catch and shoot opportunities, he’s a potential scholarship target for Division II and NAIA programs.

Copley was heating up for his summer league squad that featured a trio from his Mid Ohio Pumas grassroots team. Between Copley, Jacob Roeth Jacob Roeth 6'1" | PG Miami East | 2024 State OH and Bryson Baker Bryson Baker 6'0" | SG Shelby | 2024 OH , this squad has talent and chemistry. Copley used his size well when he drove to the paint and got hot from the outside with 3-point makes off the catch and off the bounce. Look for Copley to be one of the top players in southeast Ohio as a Junior and stand out in a competitive SOC conference.
