Jim Ratliff, Middletown High center 1970 71, starred for Eastern Kentucky with a 15.6 scoring average and .521 field goal mark. The Tangerine Bowl may move from Orlando to Tampa due to stadium expansion plans at Orlando, with a spring move possible after renovations. The MAC champion remains a frequent participant in the classic.
