PORT ANGELES — The Peninsula Pirates scored early and often en route to an easy victory over the Blue Angel All-Stars in an exhibition game Saturday night in the college gym.
It was the opening game of the year for the defending NWAACC champions.
Peninsula opened the game with a torrid 24-4 run during the first 6 minutes, never trailing in the game.
JT Terrell led five Pirates in double-digit scoring with 29 points.
Djuan Smith sank 15 followed by Curtis Stewart with 14, DeShaun Freeman with 13 and Dudley Ewell with 12.
Terrell, Freeman, Ewell, Stewart and Smith each provided crowd-pleasing dunks for the fans to enjoy during the contest.
The Pirates displayed the ability to play up-tempo ball and score in bunches.
“I like our explosiveness on the offensive end of the floor and I thought Phil Jackson really contributed on the defensive end blocking six shots,” Peninsula coach Lance Von Vogt said.
“We have a long ways to go defensively and also in late-game situations, but it is early and we will get there.”
The Blue Angel All-Stars are comprised of former college players from University of Washington, Western Washington University and Central Washington University among other schools.
Mo Anderson led the Angels with 32 points.
Paul Richards, University of Washington, finished with 17 while Jared Brandeberry contributed 17.
Next up for the Pirates is the Bellevue Jamboree on Friday before they return home for their last exhibition contest on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. against the Seattle Mountaineers.
