My favorite team to watch on Saturday, Boyd County played some excellent basketball that saw the ball swinging across the court quickly and almost everybody who saw minutes was ready to knock down 3-point shots. Payne was the engine for the offense as his dribble penetration forced help-side defenders to swarm the paint, opening up lanes for shooters to get open looks with their feet set. While Payne’s passing ability was what stood out the most on Saturday, he also knocked down some tough shots off the dribble and had a nasty bucket off an isolation. If Boyd County continues to play at this level, they are capable of beating anybody in the state of Kentucky on the right day.
