Two bitter rivals square off for a third team this season tonight when Pella High and Norwalk converge on Southeast Polk’s gymnasium in the Class 3A Substate Final. Pella has not been to state since 2010, Norwalk’s last trip was 2011, and both have a few storylines coming into Monday’s confrontation. The Little Dutch swept the season series against Norwalk, including a 75 – 50 beat down at Norwalk on February 6. Pella is trying to bounce back from what was perhaps a closer-than-expected win over Chariton on Thursday, 74 – 64. The Warriors have won seven straight since that loss to Pella. You can hear every play of the “Sweet 16” match-up live on 92.1 KRLS and KNIAKRLS.com with Cory Houser and Randy Sikkema on the play-by-play. Pre-game coverage is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. with tip-off at seven.
