Ken Boyd broke into the New England college basketball scene
in spectacular fashion. As a sophomore in 1971-72, he led
the Terriers and the Yankee Conference in scoring with 23.4
points per game. The third best scorer in New England, Boyd
also averaged 12.5 rebounds per game and was ranked fourth
in the conference and seventh in the region in that category.
The most valuable player on the team as a sophomore, Boyd
was named the Yankee Conference Sophomore of the Year and
to the All-New England second team.
A shoulder injury his junior year hampered Boyd but he still
managed to average 17 points and 9.8 rebounds. The numbers
were impressive enough to earn him third team All-New England
honors.
A native of Fredrick, MD, Boyd returned to form his senior
year and led the Terriers in scoring, with 21.3 points per
game, and rebounding, with 10.9 per game. A first team All-Yankee
Conference selection and the team MVP, Boyd helped the Terriers
to the 1973-73 Beanpot title, scoring 23 points in the 92-90
semifinal win over Harvard and 16 points in the 95-94 overtime
win over Boston College in the final.
Drafted by the Buffalo Braves in 1974, Boyd scored 1461 points,
784 caroms, and an average of 20.5 points a game over his
career.
