Owens is a Circuit Court Judge for the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Florida. He is also a former University of Florida basketball star. Early lifeOwens was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Tampa, Florida as a child with his family, where his father became the owner of an auto parts store.[1] His mother, who had played basketball at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, taught him how to play the sport.[1] Owens attended Hillsborough High School in Tampa, where he became a standout basketball player for the Hillsborough Terriers high school basketball team.[2] He played in seventy-seven prep games, while scoring 1,806 points and averaging 23.5 points per game.[2] As a senior, he scored 397 points in sixteen Western Conference games, averaging 24.8 per game, including 51 points against rival King High School.[2] He was named as a high school All-American along with Lew Alcindor and Pete Maravich.[2] College careerOwens received athletic scholarship offers to attend the University of Kentucky and the University of North Carolina, but he accepted a scholarship to attend his home-state University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. As a Florida undergraduate, he played forward for coach Tommy Bartlett's Florida Gators men's basketball team for three seasons from 1967 to 1970, and was team captain for the 1969–70 season.[3] In 1968–69, he played with Neal Walk and helped lead the Gators to their first postseason tournament.[3] During the 1969–70 season, he scored 677 points and averaged twenty-seven points a game for the season—still the current record for the Gators men's basketball team.[3] During his three-season college career, he scored a total of 1,445 points and compiled eleven games in which he scored thirty or more points.[3] He was an All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection in 1968 and 1970, and an Academic All-American in 1970, and received an NCAA post-graduate scholarship.[3] The Seattle SuperSonics selected Owens in the eleventh round of the 1970 NBA Draft, and the New Orleans Buccaneers picked him in the twelfth round of the 1970 ABA Draft.[3] Instead of playing professional basketball, he decided to attend law school.[2] Owens graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in finance in 1970 and a law degree in 1973, and was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 1978.[4][5] He was honored as an "SEC Basketball Legend" at halftime of the Florida–Vanderbilt game in 2001.[6] Law careerOwens worked as an attorney in Punta Gorda, Florida after graduating from law school.[1][2] Florida Governor Bob Graham appointed him to a newly created judgeship on the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in 1982, and he later presided over the Carlie Bruscia murder trial.[7][8] He was one of the driving forces behind the creation of a Mental Health Court in Sarasota,[9] as well as the Court Intervention Program also known as "Drug Court," a year-long out-patient program for felony drug offenders.[1] He is currently serving as the chief judge of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit.[10] See also{{Portal|Biography|College basketball|Law}}
