Only two teams in our area are still playing basketball, and one of them hopes to be among the final eight left in the state after tonight’s substate final in Class 2A. Pella Christian and Des Moines Christian square off at Ankeny High in a rematch from a Saturday affair earlier this season that went into overtime. The Eagles prevailed in that contest, but Coach Larry Hessing says both teams have vastly improved since then, and that his guys are prepared for another back-and-forth fight. The Lions have won seven straight, and have been getting the job done with their defense all season; they’re allowing only 46 points per game on average this season. Find out which of these two schools moves on to the state tournament live on 92.1 KRLS and KNIAKRLS.com, with pre-game coverage beginning at 6:40 p.m. with the ball up in the air at 7:00.
