 - "Ricky may not have been justly rewarded with many honors for his fine playing as a DSU first baseman (1978-1981), but his hitting and fielding feats are well recorded in the record books. He played a key role in the Statesmen winning Conference Championships in 1978 and 1979, and a second place finish in the 1978 Division II World Series." - Coach Dave "Boo" Ferriss
