The WIAA Board of Controls
has approved rules changes for the upcoming high school sports season. In baseball, pitchers will be limited to just
100 pitches in a game and must rest three days if they reach that count. After a one year experiment the WIAA approved

reduced the warm-up time from 20 to 15 minutes before games. In hockey, they agreed to a two year
experiment of seeding the top four teams at the state hockey tournament and
matching them up with unseeded teams via random draw.
