It has been one heck of a ride throughout the regular season for the Pella High boys’ and girls’ basketball teams. Going all the way back to December 11 in a doubleheader versus Grinnell, the Little and Lady Dutch have pulled off the “Green Sweep,” that is, they’ve both won on the same night in a doubleheader, 16 consecutive times. The only losses have come in back-to-back games versus Dallas Center – Grimes and Ballard. Boys’ coach, Mark Core, says though both teams create their own spark, there is a sense of energy that radiates from that side of the gym each night. Pella High’s boys’ game with Centerville last night was cancelled and will not be made up. Unfortunately for the Little Dutch, this may be detrimental to their seeding if and when they get to the state tournament. The girls will play the winner of tonight’s Newton – Bondurant-Farrar match-up on Saturday in the regional semifinals.
