COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Six Peninsula Pirates to announce future plans today

PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College will announce where six of its sophomores will continue their college basketball careers today.

Their future schools will be revealed at the A Building on the school’s Port Angeles campus at 12:45 p.m.

Four women’s basketball players will announced their decisions today: Neah Bay’s Cherish and Cierra Moss, Zhara Laster and Amanda Hutchins.

Two men’s players, Ryley Callaghan and Deonte Dixon will make their announcements.

Callaghan and Dixon led the Pirates to a third-place finish at the Northwest Athletic Conference tournament as freshman and the program’s first NWAC North title since 2008.

Callaghan was voted the NWAC North MVP this past season. Dixon made the region’s second team.

Peninsula men’s coach Mitch Freeman said three other players have visits set up for later this month.

Laster, Hutchins and the Mosses are part of the most successful sophomore classes in the women’s program’s history.

They helped the Pirates win the NWAC title in 2015 and finish second this year.

Moss was named to the North first team, while Laster was picked for the second team and named the region’s defensive player of the year.
