High School Ball
We are in the midst, about 2 weeks in, of High School (FP) ball here in the Okie State. Anyone know how many other states, if any, play HS in the Fall?
We were discussing this at a tourney today. |

Yeah....that reminds me. I had an Okie friend who was looking for a partner to work with this season and he hasn't gotten back to me.
I believe I have heard some folk from Georgia mentioning playing in the fall, though don't quote me on this.

Ok.....this might be an obvious question....but why fall school ball? Too many umps needed for baseball?

Here in Nebraska they play HS ball in the fall. We start August 28 and State playoffs are October 15, 16 and 17th. I sure am glad it is played in the fall here. Typically we get rain about 3 - 4 times a week in the Spring. Our Fall weather is usually quite dry with highs in the 90's but cooling off to the 50's at night. Sky high humidity in the Spring, low humidity in the Fall. In 12 years of doing HS ball, I have only been rained out 4 nights of games. That is working about 50 games a year. It is easier running track in the rainy cool weather. Same with playing soccer. Both of these sports are played in the Spring here. Dave

The weather is usually better here in OK in the "fall" after you get through August when 100+ degree days are common. Thus far we have been lucky...it has been well below normal except for the first couple of days. We even had day 2 of a tournament rainout today, strange for this type of year! |

You know, the more I think about it, I'm starting to lean toward moving all HS ball to the fall. That way it falls along with the SP fall ball.
Of course, you may have some problem with umpires who happen to be football fans, officials or parents of players/cheerleaders/bandmembers., cheerleading, any musicians in the band, etc. |

Mike, the baseball season in Nebraska is in the Spring. Since I don't do any small ball, they can have their season in the dead of Winter for all I care. Most of our HS softball games are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday touneys. Friday night football, so no conflict there. Only one problem I can see having HS ball in the Fall is the girls playing Summer ball need to get out of the ASA mode of pitching and get to Federation rules. Quite a few illegal pitches early in the season. Dave
