If there was ever a Mount Rushmore of Aggie basketball greats, he would be in the discussion. One of my first childhood memories of going to a game in Corbett was watching A&T vs Alabama St in the mid 80's. The game was close at halftime.....but A&T put on a clinic in the 2nd half. I remember Binion dunking and Boyd pulling. Those 2 dudes together, with Jimmie Brown running the point, were lethal. I remember when Binion graduated, I just knew A&T was gonna finally get surpassed by Howard.....but Boyd and Brown kept the Aggie ship of dominance afloat in the MEAC.
As I child, I remember when WFMY used to give the scores at night, I'd be shocked to see a score come up on the screen.....with us losing. Winning was such the norm that it would throw me off-kilter when I saw on the TV or in the newspaper the next morning that we had lost.
Much respect to Eric Boyd for being a key player in guiding A&T to basketball dominance in the 80's.....gone but not forgotten.
We gotta honor these dudes when they're among the living.

Eric Boyd Service will be April 1 at Grier Funeral Service 115 John McCarroll Ave Charlotte visitation from 2pm to 330. I hope the family reconsiders a public funeral and instead opts for a small private service with a public memorial scheduled for later. A public funeral helped to accelerate the spread of coronavirus in Albany, GA. This is not a joke folks....be safe: www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/us/coronavirus-funeral-albany-georgia.html |
