MOULTRIE — A new locker room at Boyd Anderson High School in Lauderdale Lakes, Fla., has been named in honor of its longtime successful basketball coach and Colquitt County Sports Hall of Fame member Eugene Richardson.

The new room was dedicated to Richardson at a ceremony in the high school gymnasium.

The locker room features LED lighting, oak flooring, a flat screen television, a white board, reclining massage chairs and a wall displaying the program’s state championship trophies.

Richardson was a fine basketball player at Moultrie High under coach Roy Saturday before playing collegiately at Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach, Fla., where he scored 1,454 points in his career.

He played briefly for Atlanta Hawks before embarking on a seven-year professional career in Europe.

Following his playing days, he turned to high school coaching, where he had a successful career at both Coconut Creek and Boyd Anderson in Florida.

Among his finest teams was the 2007-2008 Cobras who went 31-2 and were ranked No. 1 in Florida and No. 28 in the nation.

The following year, the Cobras were 25-3 and were ranked No. 2 in the state.

Richardson, 67, recently retired as the head coach at Boyd Anderson, where he placed emphasis on education as well as athletics.

Known by many during his coaching career as “Georgia Boy,” Richardson was inducted into the Colquitt County Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
