TUPELO, Miss. - Nov. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- West Point, Mississippi (November 25, 2014) – This week, BattleBells (http://www.battlebells.com/) and their American-made steel cowbells represent Mississippi on AOL’s This Built America (http://www.thisbuiltamerica.com/)editorial series.

MSU alums John Howell and Stephen Caples, know the power of their alma maters legendary cowbell tradition. But even though the bells are famous in the area, they aren’t known for being so durable—as they tend to take a beating from fans. That changed when BattleBells collaborated with another local steel manufacturer, Long Branch, to make bells stronger and louder.

Now the bells in the stands boom just as loud as the Bulldogs’ have on the field this season. That success has pushed the two recent grads to go even further. “It inspires me to keep going at a pace that won’t let you quit,” explains Howell. “Seeing people around [the Long Branch factory], them having their own pride, putting their work and ideas into it, and it inspires them, it’s a great feeling.”
