Warriors ' duo ready for Yanks By Mark Sullivan The Meridian Star Representing East Central in the third annual Mississippi Junior College All-Star game Sunday at 2 p m will be Ricky Goss and Todd Alan. Both are very deserving of the honor. Under coach Steve Rives, GQss hit .440, ripped five home runs and stole 2-t-of-24 bases his sophomore season while Alan averaged .320 at the plate and belted three home runs ''This will be my first all-star game... Goss said ··u was my goal to be on the team and I had been hoping to be chosen. I work– ed bard all vear for this and now all the sweat is worth it .. GQss. who is from Union. was selected All-State and played two years for the Warriors. ''Ricky led us in every offensive category," Rives said. ''He has good speed and did an excellent job for us.·· GQss signed a football scholar– ship with Austin Peay earlier in the year, but now the athlete wants to play only bascoall . " Baseball is my favorite game and I want to sign with a team,'' he said. "It's my love. ''I"ve been working on all areas

Ricky Goss, left, Todd Alan relax during wait for Yanks

of my game and this makes the hard work worth it.'' Goss expects to play third Sunday. Alan. a graduate of Winston Academy in Louisville, played shortstop for the Warriors this year · 'Todd is a sound defensive player and is very dedicated, ' Rives said. "He led us in doubles and •.,·as :ery consistent ;, For Alan to make the team is a big accomphshment. He transferred to ECJC from Clarke College this season and that caused a lot of problems for the athlete "I've got no regrets about swit– ching schools." Alan said ·•Jt

was hard at first, but thmgs have worked for the best." Alan received a Honorable Mention All-State award for his play and being named to the all– star team just put icing on the cake. ''I was a little surprised to be named to this, •· he said. ·'But I worked hard and did my best.'' Alan said he bas a few goals in the game. "I want to hit the baseball well and I don't want to have any errors in the field,'' he said. "I'll probably be playing se– cond base. " Being named to post-season teams is nothing new to Alan. He was selected to his High School All-Star team in football and baseball.
