PurplePride92 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Final from Boyle County. Boyle led 30-25 at the half. Once the 3rd quarter started Peyton Woods and Blevins got going. I think Woods had 12 in the quarter. Boyle turned it over a ton in the second half and Wayne County capitalized on them. Wayne County can flat out shoot the rock. Very impressive shooting team. Wow.

Ole Kentuckian Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Wayne County can indeed shoot the rock and once they get going the opposition has a difficult time not getting caught up in a their style of play. However I think what gets overlooked is that despite their fondness for a high tempo game, they can play solid defense. Yes, they do give up points, but when that occurs it is often a 2 for 3 swap (discouraging to make three trips up & down the floor, go three for three from the field and find that you're three points further down than you were), plus as I said it gets their opponent caught up in a faster tempo than benefits them. Outstanding job done tonight by WC's defensive stopper, Jason Perkins. Boyle County's outstanding guard, Tyler was held to eleven points. I give Tyler props for not forcing his shots, but demerits for allowing himself to become frustrated and get into early foul trouble (he hit the bench in the first half with two fouls and was fortunate that the officials hadn't tagged him with a couple more). Boyle stayed true to their game plan the first half, had WC frustrated and prevailed 30-25 (fewest points WC has been held to in the first half), but then WC came out the second half and responded with necessary changes and bombed five threes on Boyle in the third quarter putting up 27 and WC outscored Boyle 44-27 in the second half. The score might have been higher (both ways) but WC pulled the ball out to burn time due to having Blevins with four fouls. Wayne is the real thing, but Boyle is everything I had heard & read. They have some impressive & skilled players. They, Lincoln and Southwestern are the most likely roadblocks to WC winning the region. Lincoln going on the road and beating LexCath is big and makes them the appear to be the biggest threat although I have a ton of respect for SW and the possibility that Wayne might end up playing them four times to win the Region is daunting. You got WC & SW in one district, Lincoln & Boyle in another and a possible wildcard w/East Jessamine. Going to be a very interesting Region.
