Hall of Fame
Frederick Bibby, while attending Fayetteville State University, was not only a superior athlete amongst his peers but also a triple threat. Bibby played basketball and baseball while also running track and field for the Broncos.
Fred Bibby was named All-CIAAÂ in 1963 and again in 1964, where he averaged 23.1 points and 18.1 rebounds per game in his senior season. In January of 1964, he once ranked 11th in rebounding among the NCAA small colleges of the nation with an average of 17 rebounds in five contests.
In his senior year he was named captain for both the track and field and basketball team and was also named to the All-American team in 1963-64. Frederick was considered one of the most prolific scorers of his time- along with his deceptive rebounding abilities that placed him second in the conference.
In the '64 season-opener against Saint Augustine's, Bibby pulled down a Bronco record of 32 rebounds and ended the game with 19 points.
Bibby was inducted into the Fayetteville University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998 for his outstanding play in basketball and baseball and for his outstanding academic achievement. He was later enshrined into the CIAA John B. McLendon Hall of Fame in 2013.
