It’s always a long bus ride home following a loss, especially one that ends your season. If you’re a member of the current Pella High football team, you have not had to face one of those daunting trips yet this year, and if they’re successful this Thursday night in Cedar Falls, they won’t have to at all in 2014. Coach Jay McKinstrey says the message to his team on the way home from their win over Cedar Rapids Xavier was to bask in their victory temporarily and then get re-focused the next day. The Little Dutch take on Sioux City Heelan for the championship at 7:06 p.m. inside of the UNI-Dome, and every snap can be heard live on 92.1 KRLS and streamed live at KNIAKRLS.com.
