Coach Boyd has been coaching basketball at a high quality level of competition for many years. This year at Milton will be his 24th Year as a Head Coach.

Coach Boyd is a Georgia native. He is a Campbell High School graduate, where he played basketball and football. While earning his degree at Georgia State, he also played on the school’s basketball team. Basketball has lead Coach Boyd on a career that has been about winning consistently. He has won 11 Region titles, had twelve appearances at State, and has been to the “Elite 8”, eight times. He has had six “Final Fours”, (went 6-0in the “Final Four” games) and won four State titles. One of his State titles was won while coaching his brother at Campbell High School. He won back to back titles at Berkmar and then a State title with Tucker High School. He has been a coach to three “Mr. Georgia” basketball players; Tony Akins (Georgia Tech), Wayne Arnold (UGA) and Gani Lawal. Wynton Witherspoon (George Washington University) and Matt Causey (Georgia Tech) have also had the privilege of calling him “Coach”.

Coach Boyd’s attitude this year is a “let’s prove ourselves worthy of merit” motif. ‘We have a very strong group of ninth graders and this year’s varsity has a chance to be good, but so do many other teams in our area”, he said.

Athletic Director, Jamie Dixon said of Coach Boyd, “I am extremely excited that we were able to hire David Boyd. He comes to Milton with an extreme pedigree. He has won 4 state championships, he has won at every level that he has coached, and he brings a different level of excitement to our basketball program”. “I am so looking forward to the basketball season and a new era in Milton Basketball.”
