The Pella Christian boys’ basketball team salvaged a split with Grinnell in their doubleheader on Tuesday night, 56 – 54. The game featured a dozen lead changes, and neither squad led by more than five points. Jason Holwerda came up big for the Eagles in multiple ways, scoring a game-high 17 points in the victory. Pella Christian’s girls had open looks in their match-up, but couldn’t find the bottom of the net, and they took a 49 – 33 loss. Hannah Beltman scored 13, grabbed nine rebounds, and had another handful of blocks for the Eagles. Pella Christian’s girls are now 11 – 9, while the boys surge to 13 – 6. Both teams will play their regular season finales tomorrow night at home against Dallas Center – Grimes.
