Hall of Fame
Christy Peabody was a 2-time All-WVIAC standout who scored more than 1,400 points in her career and was a driving force behind the West Liberty women’s first WVIAC Tournament championship.
A hard-working post, Peabody was at her best in the post-season. Christy hit double-figures in all 12 WVIAC and NCAA Tournament games during her three years as a starter, averaging 18.1 ppg. She earned WVIAC All-Tournament honors all three years and was voted MVP following West Liberty’s 1997 title run.
Christy finished her career with 1,457 points and 627 rebounds. Her career-high of 38 points came in her final regular-season game, a 95-79 win at Fairmont State when she went 14-of-15 from the floor. That mark is still listed in the NCAA record book as one of the top 10 single-game field-goal percentages in NCAA D2 history.
After graduating with a degree in physical therapy, Christy was hired as Director of Rehabilitation at Physicians Medical Group in Cleveland and has worked there ever since. In addition, she is the owner/operator of her own business, Peabody Massage Therapy. Christy also spent three years as basketball coach at Holy Name High School and also coached CYO and AAU travel teams.
