Peabody Will Attend Rice, Dwyer to Columbia

Mater Dei High School point guard Tim Peabody will attend Rice University next fall and teammate Jim Dwyer will go to Columbia, Mater Dei basketball Coach Gary McKnight said Monday.

Peabody and Dwyer were key members of a Monarch team which won the CIF Southern Section 5-A championship and won 30 straight games before losing to Crenshaw, 59-57, in the Southern California Regional championship game. Peabody also was recruited by Stanford, San Diego State and Fresno State, according to McKnight.
