Alsop replaced Sammy Dantone, who resigned following the 1988 season. Alsop is a 30-year coaching veteran.

His most recent position was special teams, strength and conditioning coach and academic advisor at Louisiana Tech. Prior to that he was head coach at Samford University in Birmingham, where he reinstated the football program in 1983. He also coached at Richmond and has 15 years of high school coaching experience. A native of Westfield, N.J., Alsop received the 1977 Jim Thorpe Award as the outstanding high school football coach in Florida. He will assume his duties Jan.

30. Wilson, Gaines honored: Defensive linemen Pierre Wilson and William Gaines of Jackson have receive honors from Super Prep magazine. Wilson, a 6-foot-5, 270-pounder from Provine, was named to the Super Prep All-America defense. Wilson and Gaines, 6-6, 288 from Lanier, were also named to the All-Dixie team. Meanwhile, lineman Wesley Melton of Birmingham (Ala.) Midfield has verbally committed to Ole Miss.

Melton is 6-5, 250. Bentonia needs games: Bentonia High School needs to fill the following open dates on its baseball schedule: March 1, 10 and 21, and April 7. Interested coaches should contact Bentonia coach Mark Johnson at 755-2270. Hershiser named male athlete of year Orel Hershiser, a picture of perfection on and off the field, was named The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year. The Los Angeles Dodgers' pitcher became the first non-Olympian to win the honor in an Olympic year since Denny McLain in 1968.

Hershiser, who set a record with 59 consecutive shutout innings, got nearly twice as many votes as his World Series rival, Jose Canseco: 67 first-place ballots and 465 points with Canseco getting 30 first-place votes and 233. Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders was third with 207. Arbitrator to decide Yankee feud Dave Winfield and George Steinbrenner will allow an arbitrator to decide their fight over the Winfield Foundation rather than proceed with federal lawsuits. At the instigation of Mike Lupica, a columnist for the New York Daily News, Steinbrenner and Winfield agreed Monday to let Michael Armstrong, a New York lawyer, decide the issues. Earlier this month, Winfield sued Steinbrenner and the Yankees, claiming that they had not made $450,000 in payments to the foundation.

Three days later, Steinbrenner countersued, charging Winfield failed to make at least $380,000 in payments and alleging that Winfield used the foundation to pay expenses for himself and friends. Giants, Orioles deal: The Baltimore Orioles have acquired catcher Bob Melvin from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for catcher Terry Kennedy. Gaylord turned down: Edward L. Gaylord's attempt to purchase majority interest in the Texas Rangers was rejected Tuesday by the American League, Rangers owner Eddie Chiles said. Gilbreath camp to be held this weekend: The 13th Annual Rod Gilbreath baseball clinic will be held Saturday and Sunday at Legion-Wooten Baseball Field on West Drive in Laurel.
