Once she got the green light to hit the hardwood, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes SUPER TRANSFER aka Tori Duffey wasted little time making an impact on the court with the two-time defending Class D state champion Lake Show

Debuting in style, the multi-faceted Duffey scored 15 points in her first game in her new BLU CRU duds, a 71-43 lambasting of Adrian Lenawee Christian on Thursday.

Her presence on the floor paid immediate dividends and saw the Lakers jump out to a 38-10 lead at the break and coast to the finish line with ease.

As soon as she sufficiently sheds all the rust off – she missed an uncommon six free throws in the resounding WOLL victory– it's going to be LIGHTS OUT for the comp!!!

Duffey, who played the last three seasons at Walled Lake Central, being named all-conference twice, thought she would have to sit-out until January. But due to an appeal to the MHSAA being granted early last week, she was granted full eligibility and was more than ready on Thursday to jump in the Lakers heavily-loaded line-up and aid pumping the team's record to an unblemished 2-0.

Adding Duffey to veteran Lake Show talents like Lexie Robak (a game-high 24 points on Thursday), Ava Doetsch (10 points) and Carlee Cottrell (10 points), head coach Steve Robak and his troops will be favorites to 4-peat in the CHSL when league play gets underway following the holiday break and 3-peat when the state tourney starts up in March.

Robak and Doetsch are both juniors and three-year starters. Coming over from Auburn Hills Oakland Christian last year, Cottrell, a senior and expert long-range assassin, joined the Blu Cru and helped them grab a second consecutive state crown with her big play down the stretch.

Cottrell and Duffey will each be playing at the college level next season, with Cottrell getting ready to suit up at Indiana Wesleyan and Duffey at the University of New Hampshire.
