Bentley University

An outstanding high school athlete, Scott Conrad bounced back from a severe automobile accident to become one of the most prolific rebounders in Bentley history and the recipient of the Outstanding Senior Athete Award in 1972.
 
After the November 1967 accident which left him with a concussion and 70 facial stitches, Scott's career was put on hold for nearly two years while he recovered and caught up with missed classroom work.
 
Despite the layoff, Scott certainly made his presence felt in his first varsity season (1968-69), starting 19 of the 20 games he played and averaging 15.9 points and 10.4 rebounds.
 
The following year, Conrad was immense on the boards, ripping down a school-record 361 (his average of 15.0 is also the best in Bentley history) to help the Falcons to their first postseason tournament bid ever, a berth in the NAIA regionals. In addition to rebounding, the Nashua, N.H. native also chipped in with nearly 16 points a game.

As a senior, Scott's numbers were down slightly (14.1 points, 11.3 rebounds) but the team, utilizing a very balanced attack, experienced one of the greatest seasons in Bentley history. The Falcons, after dropping the opener to Division I Long Island University, won their next 26 games (setting a New England record which would stand for nearly 15 years) before falling to Assumption, 109-103, in the finals of the NCAA College Division New England Regionals.

Scott, who tallied 1,092 points and 885 rebounds during his three-year career, averaged over a dozen rebounds a game while wearing the Bentley uniform, a mark exceeded only by Bob Walker and Ray Andersen, both of whom were previous Hall of Fame inductees. In addition, his 14.9 scoring average ranks in the top 20 in the college's history.
 
A New Hampshire state champion in the high jump while in high school, Scott captained Bentley's 1971 track team and held the school record in the high jump until 1986.
