I have been watching Payton for a few years now, attending local Lynden games to see her skills. She is a player who does it all on the court. She fights for rebounds, hustles for loose balls, sets fantastic screens, and hits the deep shot at a very high percentage. She’s headed to the University of Hawaii to play D1 basketball.

Mills paired perfectly with Parcher to give Lynden one of the most dangerous duos in the conference. A First Team All-Conference selection, she averaged 15.1 points and 9 rebounds per game while shooting over 50% from the field and 35% from three. Her versatility as a scorer allowed her to impact the game inside and out, and her rebounding and physicality set the tone on both ends. A willing passer and high-IQ player, Mills consistently made the right play and provided veteran leadership for a championship-caliber team.

Payton is one of the best bigs in the whole state and her ability to stretch the floor and hit the deep shot is what sets her apart from others. She runs the court in transition nicely, filling lanes and being able to finish smoothly. She can drive from the wing efficiently and has the handles to break down slower defenders. She is a big reason for the Lions success on the court.
