Payne keeps pouring in big point totals and he moved to No. 2 all-time in Trinity’s boys’ basketball history last week.
The senior guard has compiled more than 2,200 points in his career. He passed Josh Pittman (2,187 points) in a Piedmont Athletic Conference Tournament semifinal last week against Eastern Randolph.
He has boosted the Bulldogs into the PAC Tournament finals for two consecutive years.
Payne also has been a standout for Trinity in football and tennis.
He becomes the first male two-time recipient of Randolph Record’s Athlete of the Week. He also was recognized in December 2021.
