"It's a great honor, and it's another step forw ard for our Hoke High baseball program. I'm tremendously proud of him". Terry Grier. Ross' former coach said. Ross, who was picked second baseman, is considered one of the premier infielders in the state. Grier said he probably would have been drafted by a pro club at the end of the high school season if it hadn't been for an injury. The 5'8" Ross finished the Bucks season here with a .343 batting average. He w as struck out only five times in 24 games. The eighteen year ? old player has been contacted by several colleges around the state but is still undecided about his future, Grier said. This Friday he is scheduled to travel to Methodist College in Fayetteville for a major league trvout camp.
