Lowry’s Athlete of the Year, David Eastman, has been chosen for his devotion to athletics. He has participated in three sports for three years at Lowry.
Eastman has played in football, basketball, and baseball at Lowry.
He was born on February 8, 1992, in Elko NV. Eastman moved many times before finding a home in Winnemucca.
“I lived in Battle Mountain for six months then we moved to Winnemucca until I was five and then we moved to Round Mountain where I met my good friends Terrell and Collin Messerly. Then we moved to Alaska for five years and then we moved back here,” said Eastman.
Eastman got involved in sports at a young age.
“I remember going to tournaments, my dad was playing in them for basketball when I was really young and watching him. When we moved to Round Mountain I played every sport I possibly could because there is nothing else to do. Expect catch lizards,” said Eastman.
He is driven by more than simply wanting to be the best…his family.
My parents, my mom she comes to every single game; she’s screaming in the stands. She supports me with whatever I decide. My dad he is a pretty wise guy, he helps me make decisions about what to do and what not to do. He is the reason I am playing college basketball,” said Eastman.
In the fall, Eastman will continue his athletic career at Upper Iowa University in Fayette, IA. He will be the point guard for the Peacocks, a Division 2 college.
