Last July the New Mexico Activities Association voted to implement the use of wood bats for the 2012 season.
In a press release last July Dusty Young, NMAA Assistant Director in charge of baseball, said, “coaches across the state have been interested in making this change for many years, and with the new BBCOR standards going into effect in 2012, these coaches felt it was a perfect time to make the move and their proposal was in fact passed by the membership.”
I like the move to wood bats. I have spoken with a couple of high school coaches and they both like the implement of wooden bats. As a matter of fact they both told me the same thing saying their team was built for wooden bats.
I don't get to many high school game but I am going to make it a point to make it to several this season. good move for everyone involved.
According to the NMAA website the official bat of the NMAA is the DEMARINI PRO MAPLE COMPOSITE BAT.

I would like to see the high schools here in Washington go to wood bats. Effective this year the schools must use BBCOR -3 bats. For my 13 year old son, he is already using a BBCOR approved bat in middle school before they become mandatory. He plans to use that same bat in his U13 Sandy Koufax league this year. I'm proud to see the coaches approve the move to wood bats ahead of everybody.
