The East Central Community Col– lege Warriors moved into 18th place in the NJCAA poll last week, but that fame may be brief as they went 0-2 in last week's basketball action. The Warriors and Lady Warriors will take identical 19-3 records into Thursday's regular-season finale against Hinds at Utica . When ECCC lost both games to Pearl River on Thursday, it mark– ed the first time this year either squad had lost at home. ECCC WOMEN 75, GULF COAST
