Broncos trounced by Trousdale Co.
The Boyd Broncos traveled to Watertown Monday night to open up the District 8-A tournament. The No. 2-seeded Trousdale Yellow Jackets didn’t waste any time, as they took care of business defeating the Broncos 76-54 to advance to the district semifinals.
The Yellow Jackets’ defense swarmed Boyd in the first period. Trousdale’s press and man-to-man defense kept Boyd’s offense out of synch, which resulted in six turnovers in the first period by the Broncos. The Yellow Jackets put 10 points on the board before the Broncos’ Kenneth King hit for two at the 5:17 mark. Boyd was held off the board until Casey Hertwig hit a 3-pointer with 43 seconds left in the period, and Boyd found itself down 20-7 after the first quarter.
The Broncos started the second period with a little pressure defense of their own which caused several turnovers by Trousdale. Clint Patterson pulled the Broncos within 13 with 4:17 to play in the half. But the Yellow Jackets kept up the attack as Quinn Hogan closed out the period with seven points. King added 10 points for Boyd as the Broncos trailed 47-29 at the half.
Things took a turn for the worse for Boyd in the third period when Sam Medley fouled out at the 6:07 mark. Jonathan Ford took the game over in the third period for Trousdale County. Ford dominated the boards and closed out the final minutes of the period, slamming one home as the Yellow Jackets extended their lead to 66-42.
In the final period Boyd made a early run with Jay Medley and King as the Broncos hit for 13 points in the period. The Yellow Jackets continued to hit the boards and by the end of the quarter had added 14 points to their lead for the win.
