I received an email from the NFHS saying the new bat guidelines are in place immediately instead of later. They are overriding the individual states' decisions. The rule says that all composite bats are outlawed, but does not specify what is a composite bat. I talked to one sporting goods rep who is also an umpire, and he didn't even know exactly what it meant. Is a composite bat any "two piece" bat? The NFHS needs to clarify this soon. People will want to order bats in the offseason when they are cheaper, and they need to be able to fully understand what they can buy. A list of approved bats would be helpful. I'm sure the bat companies aren't happy about this.

There is an "Approved Bat List" on the TSSAA web site.

www.tssaa.org

Try that site; it is updated thru January 2011.

Wonder how long it will take for someone to come out with a list of approved bats for 2011? It's pretty obvious you can't listen to the people who are selling the bats!!

As I stated in an earlier reply, got to www.tssaa.org

There is a link to approved (legal) bats-even has pictures/lengths/weights on it I believe.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By strongx · Posted

      Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.

      That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.

      RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.

      You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
