Jahod Lang and Anthony Ramsey, who helped lead the Firebirds to a 15-11 record in 2015-16, are both set to sign with the two-year community college on Thursday at 12:30 p.m.
The 6-foot-3, 175-pound Lang averaged 14 points and six rebounds per game for Pearl-Cohn last season.
“Jahod Lang really worked on improving his jump shot this past summer and it really showed this basketball season,” Pearl-Cohn coach Raymond Pratcher said. “With the improvement in his shot along with his athleticism, it really made it difficult for opponents to guard him. Now that he is transitioning to Motlow I know he will continue to work on becoming a complete collegiate guard.”’

Ramsey led the Firebirds in scoring a season ago, averaging just over 14 points for contest, and the 5-foot-8, 150-pound guard also posted four assists and four steals per contest.
“Anthony Ramsey really worked on being a consistent scorer and led our team in scoring this past season,” Pratcher added. “Ramsey’s high IQ, guard skillset and consistent scoring will definitely make him a candidate for All-Conference next year at Motlow.”
