Marshalltown no stranger to state field

July 23, 2008

There won’t be a lot of fresh faces calling the shots in the Class 4A portion of the Iowa High School State Baseball Tournament today at Principal Park in Des Moines. Most of these coaches have been around the bases, so to speak, when it comes to the season’s pinnacle. Only two of the eight state tournament coaches in the 4A field are new to the event. Second-ranked Sioux City North brings a 37-4 record behind head coach Brian Drent, while No. 6 Southeast Polk (29-11) makes the program’s state tournament debut behind Scott Belger. Aside from those same two programs, the other six schools are state tournament regulars. Marshalltown, Johnston and Ankeny are making their 10th state tournament appearance, Dubuque Hempstead and Cedar Rapids Kennedy make their 11th showings while Burlington moves into a tie for sixth all-time with its 12th state tournament qualification. Marshalltown (25-12) is the only unranked team in the field, gaining the seventh seed.
