Boone County 36, Shelby County 27
The Rebels won their first road game of the season behind their two leading scorers in sophomores Joslyn Humphrey and Lyric Hooper.

“I’m hoping we all play together to where if I’m not scoring in double figures, someone else on the team is and if I’m not hitting shots, somebody else will,” Humphrey said. “My teammates are helping me get to double figures by getting rebounds if I’m not hitting shots.”
Boone County (2-1) grabbed 43 rebounds. Junior center Briajia Land grabbed six rebounds and is averaging 7.3 on the season.
“The girls just came in the offseason and have been working their tails off,” said Todd Humphrey, Boone County head coach. “But we knew we were going to be fighting an uphill battle losing so many people. We’ve been trying to play as fast as possible and the biggest thing is learning how to slow down. For three quarters against (Shelby County), we held them to nine points and then we kind of took our feet off the gas pedal and let them come back a bit.”
