In his last organized basketball game, the future Louisville football linemen played an excellent game for a Taylor County team who surprised some people to make it to Rupp this year. Close is a dominant force on the interior, commanding the middle of Taylor County’s 2-3 zone defense and being a load to stop in the paint offensively. Able to score as a roll man in the pick and roll as well as seal his defender to score with his back to the basket, Grayson County didn’t have anybody the size of Close to slow him down when he caught the ball underneath the rim. Close’s biggest play of the game came when he secured an offensive rebound and kicked it out to a shooter for a crucial second half 3-pointer when the game was slipping away from Taylor County. With a talented 2028 class set to return, don’t be surprised if Taylor County is back to this stage the next few years.
