What a way to roll into the playoffs.

Peninsula’s Pirates claimed a hard-earned home win against traditional rival Bellevue on Feb. 20 and with it locked up the North Division crown and a spot in the NWAC tournament.

Dimitri Amos led all players with 25 points off the bench as PC (10-2 in conference, 17-9 overall) won their eighth straight in a 68-64 win against the visiting Bulldogs on Saturday.

Darrion Daniels added 13 points — also off the bench — as Bellevue held top PC scorers Ryley Callaghan and Deonte Dixon to eight points apiece.

Quentin Moore led three Bulldogs in double figures with 17 points. Former North Kitsap star Calvin Dennis had 12 points for Bellevue.

The Pirates, now ranked No. 5 in the conference, got a home win against Olympic on Feb. 17, topping the Rangers 72-58.

Daniels led the team in scoring with 20 points as PC broke open a contest that was a one-point affair (30-29 Pirates) at halftime.

Callaghan added 17 points and Malik Mayeux contributed 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Brian Neal, the NWAC’s No. 3 scorer, led Olympic with 18 points.

Peninsula finishes the regular season with road games at Skagit Valley on Feb. 24 and Shoreline on Feb. 27.

The NWAC tournament is set for March 10-13 at Everett Community College.
