Former Montana State standout and Big Sky Conference most valuable player Peyton Ferris, who has served as an assistant to head coach Tricia Binford since Feb. 4, has been promoted to Director of Basketball Operations with the MSU women’s basketball program beginning June. 1.
Since joining the Bobcat staff the former Twin Bridges luminary has overseen team travel, facilities scheduling, as well as other administrative duties.
As DOBO, Ferris will continue to oversee team travel and facilities scheduling, along with practice and game statistics and analytics, coordinating managers and scout team players and serving as team camp director.
For the past 3 ½ seasons, Ferris played professionally in Spain for GDKO Ibaizabal. Ferris, who received her undergraduate degree in psychology/sociology and a master's in community health from Montana State in 2017, recently retired and returned to the Treasure State.
As a player, Ferris lead Montana State to the 2017 Big Sky Conference regular-season and tournament titles and a trip to the NCAAs and a first-round appearance at Washington. The Bobcats finished the season 25-7 overall and 15-3 in Big Sky play. For her efforts, she was named the league's MVP and was a unanimous all-Big Sky First-Team pick. Ferris averaged 18.8 points and 7.6 rebounds in her final season in the Blue and Gold.
Ferris, who took part in the NCAA's ‘So You Want to Be A Coach' program at the 2017 Final Four, is currently ranked tenth all-time in scoring and 16th in rebounding at Montana State. Her name appears in nine career statistical categories in the Bobcat record book. Ferris was also named the Big Sky's Reserve of the Year in 2015 and 2016 and was a four-time Big Sky Conference academic honoree- just one of 23 Bobcat women's basketball players to accomplish the milestone.
