PROJECT COMPLETED

Many thanks to Rick Sidley and his assistants, Mike Etchison and Jason Lindquist, on the completion of our scoreboard restoration project.  With your golf tournament revenue, the scoreboard was scraped and painted.  Rick, Mike, and Jason then spent their Sunday reapplying all of the lettering.  As you can see, it looks so much better!  Thanks guys!

GREAT SUCCESS!

Dave Fischer & Ron Moreno

Long overdue congratulations to our 2011 Golf Tournament Champions - Ted Tollner and his foursome from Lombardi Construction - Mike Lombardi, Todd Mavis, Dan Watkins, and Miles Harper.  Second Place went to Craig McEwen and his foursome from Gatorz Vizion - George Moulios, Randy Jones, Bert Poncher, and Tod Kilgore.  Bill Maher won the Chipping Contest, Willie Barnett won the Putting Contest, and Mike McCandless won the Long Drive.

Dave Fischer, his assistant Cici, and Ron Moreno did a phenomenal job heading up our 16th Annual Poway Titan Baseball Celebrity Golf Classic and Dinner-Auction.  It was another record breaking year!

Adele Sabourin did a beautiful job with the silent auction, while John Newman did an equally amazing job with the live.  Other committee members included Anna Berquist, Mike and Dawn Etchison, Scott Godfrey, Kelly Jones, Les Hubbard, Jenny Lowe, Pat Miller, Ray Patenaude, Rebecca Peppers, Steve Robinson, Jim Reifeiss, Rick Sidley, and Dawn Sullivan.  We received much needed support from our "Always a Titan Club" made up of Titan alumni - Carol Nix, Nancee Prast, Peter and Mee-Sun Joe, Michele Manos, and Charlie Hasenbeck.  Other volunteers who helped the day of the event include Terry Moreno, Susan Hindemith, Andrea and Alan Dean, Pam Reifeiss,  Bill James, Stan Barth, Annette Godfrey, Melinda Patenaude, Kimberly Weisz, Leticia Dooney, and Rob Murphy.

As you can see, it takes many hands to make this golf tournament/auction a success!  Thank you all so much for your support of Poway Titan Baseball!

NEW BAT RULES

As of December 29, the CIF State office has announced a "change" in bat standard rules that differ from the previously announced rule. Players may use either BBCOR bats or a bat from the NFHS approved list of BESR-ABI bat contained on its website (click on the heading above to link to the site).  These approved bats may be used only for the 2011 season.
In 2012, only BBCOR bats may be used in accordance with the National Federation Rules.
California was expected to be able to use only BBCOR this season, but it appears the supply of those bats was not sufficient.
Older aluminum and composite bats that do not meet the new standards may not be used in games.
