COLLEGE
Hammond played college basketball at Centralia College, As a freshman in the 1981-82 season he was already a key backcourt piece for the Trailblazers and scored 16 points in a March 1982 NWAACC Tournament game.
He spent two seasons at Centralia and developed into one of the program’s top players, helping the Trailblazers win a division title and finish runner-up at the 1983 NWAACC Tournament while earning all-league and all-tournament honours in the same season.
Hammond also won Centralia’s Outstanding Sportsman award in 1983, capping his junior-college career after leading the program through one of its strongest tournament runs of that era.
After Centralia, Hammond moved to the University of Puget Sound and played there from 1983 to 1985, finishing his college career as a guard on a strong Loggers side.
In his 1984-85 senior season, Hammond and Joe Whitney both averaged 15.6 points per game for a Puget Sound team that carried a 15-6 record, and Hammond produced one of the year’s standout scoring games when he poured in 32 points against Oklahoma in December 1984.
Hammond’s final Puget Sound season also came on a team that posted a .529 field-goal percentage and a .783 free-throw percentage, both listed among the best single-season marks in program history, while allowing just 65.3 points per game.
His play in 1984-85 earned him Most Valuable Player honours for both Puget Sound and the league, and he also received the Tim McDonough Award for that academic year.
Across his college path, Hammond built a résumé that included a two-year impact run at Centralia, a 1983 NWAACC Tournament runner-up finish, all-league and all-tournament recognition, Centralia’s Outstanding Sportsman award, and a senior year at Puget Sound in which he shared the team scoring lead and finished as the MVP of both his team and conference.
