Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) www.abalive.com  today announced that it will add a team to its Pacific Northwest Division next season - the Kitsap Admirals located in Bremerton, WA.

“Our Pacific Northwest Division has been a bit of a problem with development behind the rest of the country. Next season, we believe we’ll have a full division of teams that will make it much easier for the Seattle Mountaineers and the Washington Rampage,” stated ABA CEO Joe Newman.  “The Kitsap Admirals are the first of several new teams we will be adding and we are very pleased with the ownership group of Ashley and Erica Robinson.

The couple owns a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization focusing on faith, family, community and empowerment.  Ashley, a former Army veteran and Erica, a former Navy veteran met at the Pearl Harbor Military Base in Honolulu, HI.  They also own the ITM Gospel Awards Show that is now seven years old and they have gained the respect and comradery of the Seattle and Tacoma communities.  Ashley is also a former ABA professional basketball player.

“We are really excited about this opportunity,” stated Robinson.  “Ever since I graduated from Olympic College in 2005, Erica and I and our daughter Eboni and son Isaiah have talked about doing this after I finished playing.  We know that we can make it something very special and I would like to thank Don Sims,

owner of the Seattle Mountaineers, for his help in putting this together.  We will have a strong division.”
