Pirates add juco guard to recruiting class

 

Tallahassee Community College guard Cory Farmer has signed an NCAA letter-of-intent with East Carolina, according to a report in The Tallahassee Democrat.

Farmer helped the Eagles to a 31-4 record and an appearance in the National Junior College Athletic Association championship game this past season. A 6-foot-3 sophomore from Charlotte, Farmer started all 35 games in 2005-06 for TCC, which shared the Panhandle Conference Championship with Chipola College before defeating the Indians to claim the Florida Community College Activities Association (FCCAA) championship.

Farmer scored a career-high 26 points against Pensacola Junior College, hitting 8-of-12 field goal attempts and 8-of-10 from the foul line. Farmer was named to the Coaches All-Panhandle Conference Team and was a second-team all-conference selection.


C-USA players contend for Howser Award

Six Conference USA standouts have been named to the 64-man watch list for the 2006 Dick Howser Trophy, given to the nation's top collegiate baseball player, according to the league's web site.

Rice is represented by three players, pitchers Eddie Degerman and Cole St. Clair and utility player Joe Savery. Houston utility player Brad Lincoln, Southern Miss pitcher Daniel Best and Central Florida pitcher Tim Bascom are the league's other representatives under consideration for the honor.

The Dick Howser Trophy, given in memory of the former Florida State University All-America shortstop and major league player and manager who died of brain cancer in 1987, is regarded as college baseball's most prestigious award. Criteria for consideration for the trophy include performance on the field, leadership, moral character and courage, qualities that were exemplified by Howser's life.

The membership of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) will choose the Dick Howser Trophy recipient based on three rounds of voting. The 2006 winner will be announced at the College World Series in Omaha on Friday, June 16, at 8:30 a.m. EDT.

Pirates move Sunday's baseball game with Tulane to 11 a.m.


ECU vs. Tulane Sunday game time changed

Sunday's baseball game between East Carolina and Tulane has been moved from noon to 11 a.m. to accommodate Tulane's travel arrangements. ECU officials made the announcement Thursday through a release from the university's athletic media relations department.
