"Hannah" star will be "Pumpin' Up the Party" in Poughkeepsie

Fans of women's basketball and "Hannah Montana" will get "The Best of Both Worlds" on Feb. 22nd.

That's because actor Moises Arias, who portrays "Rico" on the hit TV show, which airs on the Disney Channel and ABC, will come to town and be the guest of the Marist College Red Foxes as part of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference/Radio Disney tour, which is making several stops throughout the 2008-09 season.

According to Marist officials, Moises will take part in a Q&A session at halftime of the Red Foxes' game against Siena, and he'll sign autographs after the game.

For those who don't follow the show, Rico can be a bit bratty — what with him being the son of the insanely rich owner of the surf shop that employs Jackson, the brother of Miley Stewart (aka Hannah herself); somehow, though, Jackson always seems to get the best of the situation toward the end of the game. Among Rico's various storylines, he's had a secret crush on Miley, and he seems to have a hunch as to her alter-ego.

Moises is part of the cast of "Hannah Montana: The Movie," set to hit the big screen on April 10th. Among his other credits, he has appeared in another Disney Channel hit, "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," and has been a regular participant in the Disney Channel Games competitions.
