Rima named Prairie baseball coach

Todd Rima had three questions he needed to answer before becoming the new baseball coach at Cedar Rapids Prairie High School.

No. 1, was it right for his family?

No. 2, would he be able to juggle being the baseball coach at Kirkwood Community College and Prairie without affecting his job at Kirkwood?

No. 3, did Prairie High School share his vision and commitment to running the program?

Once Rima had the right answers, he accepted the offer to become Prairie's new coach for the 2015 campaign.
