Last weekend the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association held its 51st annual Awards Banquet in Cedar Rapids and Pleasantville head coach Sheldon Card was recognized.

The longtime Pleasantville headman was selected as the Southwest District Coach of the Year for class 2A. Five districts represent each class in the state. Last summer Card led the Trojans to a 23-12 season and a Pride of Iowa Conference Championship in their last season in the league.
