The city of Cedar Rapids had already made a proposal to take over the host duties. IHSAA spokesman Bud Legg says a decision will likely come in the spring.He says a decision on where to hold the 2005 tournaments will likely come at the board in control’s March meeting. Legg says all three presentations had a lot to offer.Legg says it will be a tough choice, and he says it’s a pleasant problem to have. In the last nine years, Carroll has hosted Class 1A and 3A baseball tournaments, with Marshalltown hosting the 2A and 4A.
