The start of the boys state soccer tournament has been moved back one day to Friday. Officials with the Iowa High School Athletic Association  made the decision after several days of heavy rain in Central Iowa. Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines hosts the tournament.

Todd Tharp of the IHSAA says the decision was made after heavy rain Monday night. Tharp says the complex has received nearly nine and-a-half inches of rain since May 17th.

So, that means, Marshalltown’s match with Cedar Rapids Washington will now be tomorrow at 5:10.

The semifinals will be Saturday and the championship matches will be next Tuesday.
