Etowah (Ga.) announces hiring of head boys basketball coach

Etowah's announcement of a new head boys basketball coach marks a pivotal shift for the Woodstock, Georgia, program after its first losing season since 2012-2013. The school confirmed Keyon Boyd, previously the head coach at Hiram, will lead the Etowah Eagles for the 2026-2027 season. Over eight seasons with Hiram, Boyd delivered six GHSA postseason appearances, three region titles, and multiple Sweet 16 and Elite Eight runs, including a 25-3 campaign in 2022-23. Etowah had three seasons before 2025-26 with 20 or more wins, establishing the program as one of Georgia's better teams. The hiring signals a bid to restore Etowah to postseason competitiveness and Peach State prominence.
