07/24/12 – Championship Weekend Created for Fall Sports

2012-2013 News Releases

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JULY 24, 2012

CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND CREATED FOR FALL SPORTS
Beginning in the fall of 2013 the first weekend of November will have a championship feel unlike any other in the Association’s 95-year history.

02/20/12 – Rip-It Bat

2012-2013 News Releases

We have received the following from the NFHS 

It was brought to the NFHS’s attention that some umpires have identified the Rip-It bat as being non-compliant due to the positioning of the BBCOR .50 certification mark on the taper instead of on the barrel.  This was very observant of them and a correct interpretation.  However, the NFHS has had discussions with the Rip-It management group about this issue and an agreement was worked out to extend to them an administrative remedy to permit their bats to be allowed in high school competition.  Please share this information with your officials that the Rip-It product with the BBCOR .50 certification mark on the taper of the bat instead of the barrel is compliant with the NFHS baseball rules due to an administrative remedy.
