Terell Lloyd is a former Knight; now a Golden Hawk

Woodstock basketball player has compiled impressive resume 

Very quietly, Woodstock has developed a top OUA basketball player. He's quite good, but receives very little recognition.

Terrell Lloyd is an athlete from Woodstock you should know more about.

The College Avenue Secondary School grad has been considered one of the top post-secondary basketball players in Ontario for the past few years. I note it to be post-secondary as the previous college hoops star at Conestoga is now playing for Waterloo’s Laurier Golden Hawks in the OUA.

Lloyd is a 6-foot-3 guard and his stats prove that he knows how to find the rim, including 22 points in his most recent game, an 85-78 loss at Lakehead on Nov. 29 (Last Friday). Lloyd was 9-for-13 shooting in 26 minutes of floor time, leading his Laurier team in rebounds with 15.

Lloyd’s Laurier squad is just 3-8, but the Woodstock player has had a strong season so far – averaging 12.3 points / game. His top offensive game was 23 in a home loss to Carleton.

In the 23-24 season, Lloyd was an OUA rookie, but not really a freshman as he had transferred from college basketball (OCAA) and the Conestoga Condors.

In 21-22 and 22-23, Lloyd led the entire OCAA West in scoring, and in both years was a second team all-star selection. Points per game as a rookie were 24.3, and then 25.1 in second year. The 25.1 stat tied him for 2^nd in the entire CCAA. His season-high in 21-22 was 42 points versus Canadore Panthers (23 points in second quarter). He also led the league in steals with 20. A Condors’ press release suggested that Terell Lloyd and Ladera Ujullu-Obang were the top teammates in CCAA in 22-23.

Since Google is my friend, I noticed that the CASS Knights were WOSAA ‘AA’ senior bronze winners in 2019 with Lloyd. The Cory Smith penned (Stratford & Sentinel-Review reporter), noted that the Knights were 31-8 overall and unbeaten in Oxford league play for coaches Drew Symons and Jerry Kleiner. In 2019, Lloyd was Captains-Veterans City MVP and also won the slam dunk competition.

In the spring of 2018, Terell Lloyd was invited to represent Oxford in the Tri-City Top 40 high school talent as sponsored by Adidas. The event was at RIM Park in Waterloo.

Going back to 2017, Lloyd was already on every radar screen as he was the City MVP for CASS in the Captains-Veterans showcase with 24 points.

While at the home of the Knights this past Saturday for the Street Mayor Classic 3-on-3 event as organized by Why Not Us (See their info at www.whynotus.ca), I noted a trophy case recognizing many athletic grads from CASS  and naturally Terell Lloyd was part of the display. 

I certainly hope he gets all the credit he deserves for accomplishments on the hardwood.
