PC women building a winner

Third year head coach Alison Crumb has "all the right stuff" to take the Peninsula women's basketball team to the NWAACC Tournament this year. Her roster reads like a Who's Who Among Alaska Basketball, with a great freshman class to compliment three sophomore returners. Look for the 2011-12 Pirates to battle for the North Division title and a spot in the 2012 NWAACC Basketball Championships.

Whatcom holds off Pirates 61-48

     BELLINGHAM - Following heart-stopping losses to conference-leading Skagit Valley and Bellevue, the Pirates knew they were as good as any team in the North and they needed only a win at Whatcom Wednesday to secure the inside track for third place and stay in the hunt for the second-place berth to the playoffs.

     However, Whatcom is a tough place to win and it was a combination of chilly shooting, lack of rebounding and some lop-sided whistles that spelled the Pirates' demise in a 61-48 setback.

     The Orcas went to the line 18 times, hitting 15 of those, while Peninsula shot only 5 free throws, making only 2 to provide the difference on the scoreboard. The Pirates were also unusually cold from beyond the arc, where they hoisted 14 threes and made none of them. The Orcas also outrebounded the Pirates 39-25.

     The Pirates were led by the 18 points of Taylor Larson and 13 from Jesse Ellis, who also led in rebounds with 6, steals with 4 and assists with 5.

     The PC women (7-4, 13-8) slipped to fourth place in the North. They host winless Edmonds on Saturday. More

Ellis ties record as Pirates storm to 93-57 win

     PORT ANGELES - Jesse Ellis tied the Peninsula assist record with 11, five players hit for double figures and everyone scored in what had to be one of the highest scoring wins in Peninsula women's basketball history as the Pirates rocked Seattle 93-57 Wednesday.

     Ellis, a freshman from Skagway, Alaska, converted on 11 assists, tying the school record held by teammate Karli Brakes, coach Alison Crumb (2004) and former Alaska standout Trista White (2004).

     The Pirates stormed out to a 43-27 halftime lead and never looked back, as coach Crumb played her bench liberally - and got a lot of production out of her reserves with 13 points from Leisl Brown, 8 from Jonica Durbin, and 4 each from Tia Mason, Callie Monfrey and Ashley Manker. More

Larson breaks school record in win over Olympic

     PORT ANGELES – The Pirates were breezing along with a commanding 35-17 halftime lead over the visiting Olympic Rangers Wednesday night when coach Alison Crumb noticed her freshman post player had 18 points at halftime in only 11 minutes of play. While substituting liberally elsewhere, she kept Taylor Larson in the game much of the second half and the Juneau-Douglas grad eventually left the game with 4 minutes remaining and the crowd applauding her 35-point school record effort.

     Larson, who was 17/29 from the field and 1/6 from the free throw line, broke the previous PC women's record of 32, held by Francis Farani (2004) and Sierra Tornga (2002). Larson also added 10 rebounds to her effort.

     Meanwhile, her teammates completely overwhelmed the Rangers, turning an 8-7 lead into a 27-7 lead en route to a 77-55 victory. More
