Cedar Rapids Kennedy attempts to return to the Class 4A Iowa high school baseball state tournament to defend its title Wednesday night.

The Cougars square off with Waukee in one of eight substate finals to take place. Along with those eight games, 3A will see 16 teams battle for eight spots.

State baseball takes place next week in Sioux City from Lewis and Clark Park.

Along with Cedar Rapids Kennedy, Waukee is looking to punch a return trip to the quarterfinals along with Iowa City High, Waukee Northwest and Johnston in other games.

North Polk is also back in the final round as they look to defend. The Comets will hit the road, just like Cedar Rapids Kennedy, as they play at Carlisle. 

Bishop Heelan, Pella, Harlan and Dubuque Wahlert are also looking for repeat state appearances. 

The 1A and 2A state fields were decided Tuesday night and are now set.
