Both High School and Colege will be required to use the new standard in 2012, it will change the game. Here is a link to how the new BBCOR bats have fared this fall in college. BBCOR BATS

no i don't think any of the bat companies want me buy a bunch of bats that are no good to anyone and put me out of business. All the bat companies are telling us that the BBCor will be a NFHS standard for 2012. It is a pain for everyone to have to carry two different bats (1 for hs and 1 for college). I wish it were going to be effective for both this next year. I could not read your link but the on ei read: A change to Rule 1-3-2 regarding bat specifications was made in the hope it will clarify bat compliance. The rule, which will be effective January 1, 2012, specifies that the bat should be a “smooth cylinder implement from the top of the cap to the top of the knob.” “The committee was looking to clarify the rule and make the purchase of bats an easier process,” said Elliot Hopkins, NFHS director of educational services and liaison to the Baseball Rules Committee. “We want to make sure that kids and parents know what is permissible.” The change will also require that all non-wood bats meet the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard, which is the standard used by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Formerly, non-wood bats had to meet the Ball Exit Speed Ratio (BESR) standard. I guess we will all know after the June 7th meeting. This rule change is going to totally change the game of High School and College baseball.

According to my Louisville Slugger saleman, there are no changes in High School for next year. The NFHS is meeting in two weeks to discuss bat changes for 2012. It is everyone's assumption that the NFHS will adopt the same rules as NCAA, NAIA and NJCCA effective for the 2012 season.

Actually it was 110.5

It runs in the Gant family. Stephen's old brother Clayton would touch 110 mph on a good day.

Now we will see which teams are the deepest and which teams want it bad enough. Listened to both games and both games sounded like they were well played.

I agree the winner will be from the West(Jackson). It is hard for a team to beat another good team 7 times in a season but USJ has seemed to have the upper hand this season against JCS. USJ has scored a bunch of run on JCS so far. All the games between the two have been fun to watch so far and I see that trend this week.

That is interesting final senario. I think usj's pitching is deeper than any of the other teams in the tournament. I just think it comes down to if USJ comes ready to play. They are the best team in the field if they want it bad enough.

It is all about T$$AA Money!

Jawing has always been part of the game. I have watched the film.

I know each side sees it different but last night, even in the early part of the game TCA seemed to be antagonizing USJ players and even the Usj stands. Every altercation(and certainly the last of the game) seemed to be started by the TCA players. TCA even had one player ejected after his second personal foul. I have never seen TCA act in such a manner. I know Coach Holdum doesn't approve of this type of conduct.

I don't have a pony in this show, but I can't beleive that they would fire such a good baseball guy. East Hickman must not care anything about it's baseball program.

Arlington which has a very good team by 1 run.
