Alec Peters (Valpo)-Local kid

[midstateknowitall]

Alec Peters (Washington HS) who is a freshman at Valpo had his first collegiate game Saturday vs Hillsdale College (D2).

Alec Peters started at the SF alongside 4 seniors. His stats for the game:
17pts (5-10FG, 3-4 from 3, 4-6FT) 6 rebs, 2blks, 2asts, 0 To's.

Good to see local guys having success. Only first game hope he has more success in the future.

midstate - we already had a few comments about Alec's debut but any comments from you are welcome!

Washington's Alec Peters had his debut as Valpo wins 69-60 over Hillsdale - again plenty of fouls & FTs, Lavonte Dority 15, ex-Hoosier Bobby Capobianco was scoreless
Peters started, was 5-10 with 3-4 from the arc, and finished with 17 points, 6 rebs in just 24 minutes .
In fact, the news story credits Peters for taking over in the 2nd half when Valpo was down five and rallying them with a 13-point run!!!
7-footer Moussa Gueye - transfer from Alabama, went 1-4, 4 pts, 4 rebs
Transfer Keith Carter from Saint Louis isn't eligible until 2nd semester (Dec. 21) but did play a bit in an open practice/scrimmage a week ago

My fault, did not see it mentioned before I wrote mine...

Do you know if he is going to start in the regular season?

[midstateknowitall]

Obviously has to earn it, but every indication I've seen is YES. But he is probably on a shorter leash then other guys on the roster at that position because he is a freshman. I think he will start though. Too competitive & skilled to keep off the floor!
