According to the HS clinics around here, the umpire was to use ASA's standard which includes pre-2000 bats.

Look at it this way. Would you not allow a player to use a wooden softball bat in a HS game? Not on the approved bat list, many, if not all, do not have any certification stamps and you know darn well they are legal.
