(1-27-24) The Eschmeyer family has had a giant impact on to Peak To Peak Charter School Basketball this season.
Evan, the New Knoxville, Northwestern and NBA former star, coaches his son’s Elijah varsity boys basketball team and his twin sister Alexandra is the star of the girls basketball team.
Peak to Peak, a team that won 17 games last season, saw junior Alexandra Eschmeyer passing the 1,000-point mark for her career. Needing just two points to reach 1,000, that milestone came on Eschmeyer’s first basket of the Colorado Academy game on January 18th.
- Eschmeyer surpasses 1,000-points, but Peak to Peak comes up short against Colorado Academy
- Eschmeyers dominate, Peak to Peak sweeps PRA in boys and girls hoops
The team’s leading scorer on the season, Eschmeyer (20.9 ppg) scored 12 points.
The past week she committed to Stanford, a school much like her parent’s alma mater Northwestern.
Brother Elijah
Elijah plays for his dad Evan at Peak To Peak, in a game this past week dad and son had a discussion during the game.
In the bocopreps.com story —
Eschmeyer delivered a pair of highlight-worthy blocks. The last one he wagged his finger as if to say,
“Ah, no, no, no.”
According to the story dad told him to ‘knock it off‘.
“You just have to focus on that next play. Especially right now with a young team with a junior and three sophomores out there a lot, it benefits us to play as level-headed as possible. Now we want the kids to have fun but I’m trying to help them return to center.”
It is no surprise of reaction like that from Coach Eschmeyer who went to one of the smallest schools in Ohio,. Growing up on a farm and grew up with that small-town attitude, despite being heavily recruited by D I schools. His high school coach Brian Stetler, much like Eschmeyer, would handle his players the same way…keep your head in the game.
The twins have a bright future, with mom and dad both stars during their careers, it looks to be the same path for Alexandra and Elijah.
