I know Cody McCarthy went to high school in Boise but he considers himself a local of the area as he has family in Spokane, CdA, and the Silver Valley. Both sides of his family have roots to the Silver Valley before Idaho was a State. He was born in Lewiston and grew up in Orofino where his family shopped in CdA and Spokane on a regular basis. One main reason for his picking EWU was he wanted to be close to family so family and friends could watch him play as well as get a degree in Physical Therapy.
