Five Metro players were named to the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association all-state teams Wednesday.
Linn-Mar senior pitcher Austin Stroschein and Prairie senior shortstop Ty Mougin were named to the Class 4A first team.
Prairie senior pitcher Brennan Hammer, Linn-Mar senior first baseman Jimmy Roth and Linn-Mar sophomore third baseman Brandt Ollinger were named to the Class 4A second team.
Although nothing is imminent, the Linn-Mar Community School District has positioned itself to add a second high school if necessary.
Superintendent Katie Mulholland presented the possibility of adding a second high school, if enrollment dictates, in her message published in the district's handbook for the 2013-14 school year.
"We are always very conscious of the numbers," Mulholland told the Metro Sports Report. "We don't have the numbers right now (to add a second high school), but we have to be prepared."

The Linn-Mar Lions plan to pick up the pace on offense this season by running more plays in a shorter period of time.
Coach Bob Forsyth thinks it's the best way to pick up more victories after struggling through a 3-and-6 campaign in 2012.
"Offensively we're going to try and play at a high tempo," he said Monday on the first day of preseason camp. "We're at two plays a minute right now and we're going to try and get a little better than that. That could be a big key for us."
Forsyth thinks the Lions have the depth to play at a high tempo, with three tailbacks and a flock of receivers to complement 6-foot-4 junior quarterback Ryan Schmidt and 6-foot senior QB Matt Ramsey, last year's backup passer.
Five players from Metro area high schools have been named to the Class 4A all-state baseball teams, the Iowa Newspaper Association announced Tuesday.
Austin Stroschein of Linn-Mar, Brandt Ollinger of Linn-Mar and Ty Mougin of Prairie were named second team all-state by the INA.
Jimmy Roth of Linn-Mar and Zach Brown of Xavier were named third team all-state.
