Still gives me a warm heart reflecting on the NCAA game in Seattle. You had to be there.

The standing ovation from a packed house at the University of Washington arena when she fouled out said it all..... I don’t ever ever remember giving a standing ovation to an opposing team’s player when they fouled and this was the home town UW crowd!!! Outscored Plum, the leading scorer in the nation that game. Nuff said....

One of the all-time great Bobcats. I run up and hug her whenever I see her at football games even though she doesn't know who I am. Love that girl.

Wow, that is awesome! Blaire Braxton and now Peyton Ferris on staff helping to keep the championship legacy going with the new young team that's improving game by game.

I had to chuckle at Peyton's job title, sounds like she'll be the Dwight Schrute to Coach Binford's Michael Scott.

Haha, good reference. I know they had the director of bball operations position open and it sounds like Peyton will be taking some of those responsibilities.

It is great to have a Bobcat legend on staff, especially with such a young team.

What a great hire by Coach Bin. Our WBB program is certainly in great hands.

Former Standout Ferris Named Assistant to Head Coach at Montana State

Feb. 4, 2021 – BOZEMAN, Mont. – Former Montana State standout and Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player Peyton Ferris has been named assistant to the head coach at Montana State, announced Bobcat head coach Tricia Binford, Thursday afternoon.

Ferris will be on the bench as the Bobcats host Weber State on Thursday night at 6 p.m.

For the past 3 ½ seasons, Ferris has played professionally in Spain for GDKO Ibaizabal. The Twin Bridges product, who received her undergrad degree in psychology/sociology and a master’s in community health from Montana State, recently retired and returned to the Treasure State.

“We are thrilled to have one of the most influential Bobcat players back on the bench,” Binford said. “This young lady has an intensity of excellence. She has excelled at every level and helped raise the bar for MSU women’s basketball. She is a champion, and her tireless work ethic will make an immediate impact to our staff and team.”

Ferris will oversee team travel, facilities scheduling, as well as other administrative duties.

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.

“I knew early on I wanted to get into coaching,” Ferris said. “I’m grateful this opportunity came up and that I’m back in the program. Being in Spain it meant a great deal to be seen in the team colors. To be back in the Blue and Gold means everything. It meant a lot to walk into the fieldhouse and be back in the program.”

Ferris, who took part in the NCAA’s ‘So You Want to Be A Coach’ program at the 2017 Final Four, worked in odd jobs around the Twin Bridges area during the offseason of professional ball, plans to enroll in more graduate classes with the ultimate goal of becoming a school counselor.

Ferris 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.
