Kevin Houston is a former American basketball player who is best known for leading NCAA Division I in scoring during his senior season at Army in 1986?87. He averaged 32.9 points per game in 29 games played and set still-standing school records for points in a single game and season. Houston was raised in Pearl River, New York and was a three-year starter on the varsity basketball team at Pearl River High School. He was a diminutive 5 ft 11 in, 165 lbs. in his prime during college, so as a high school player was even smaller. His small stature played a big role in why he was overlooked by college scouts. Houston decided to attended the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School in New Jersey for one year after high school. The United States Military Academy, located in his home state of New York, was the only university that had shown Houston any interest during his basketball recruitment. He enrolled at Army in the fall of 1983 to play for the Black Knights. During his four-year career, Houston started every single one of the 113 games he played in, which ties him for the most all-time games played in Army history.
