Charting the Gators: Boynton inches toward state's 2,000-point club
Wednesday, March 20, 2013 | Men's Basketball, Track and Field, Chris Harry
Florida senior guard Kenny Boynton, with 1,995 career points, needs just five to become just the 12th collegiate player in the state of Florida to reach the 2,000-point milestone -- and just the second Gator to do so. Boynton, the former McDonald's All-American from Boca Raton, Fla., is averaging 12.3 points per game, so he figures to hit the mark sometime Friday night when the No. 3-seed Gators (26-7) face 14th-seeded Northwestern State (23-8) in the NCAA South Region's second-round game at Austin, Texas.
