“Hey, careful man, there’s a beverage here!”
Cody Peters back in the day.
Cody Peters was once the baddest man alive on the Coupeville High School basketball court.
The six-foot-six tower of power rampaged through the Cascade Conference’s best as a Wolf, carrying Coupeville to several impressive seasons.
Now he continues carving a path of destruction at the college level.
Currently playing for Evergreen State College, after two standout seasons at Whatcom Community College and a stint at Western Oregon University, Peters was one of the few bright spots for a 2-24 Geoducks squad.
He played in all 26 games, starting 22, while pulling down 691 minutes of floor time — one minute behind the team leader.
When he was on the court, he utilized his time well, throwing in 269 points (10.3 a game) and hauling in 145 rebounds (5.6).
Peters dropped in a game-high 24 against Lewis-Clark State and 19 against Eastern Oregon, while twice bringing down 11 caroms (Puget Sound, Northwest Christian).
First on the team in free throw attempts, free throw makes, defensive rebounds and personal fouls (you ain’t been hammered until you’ve been hammered by the best), he also collected 24 assists, 19 steals and 15 blocks.
Peters banked in 91 of 236 shots, including 21 three point bombs, proving the big man can step back and pop from distance. He was 66 of 102 from the charity stripe.
