Chemistry. No, not the class in high school where you could blow things up with a Bunsen burner and memorize the Periodic Table of Elements all in the name of science. The chemistry we’re talking about is the ability of one athlete to work well with another. This is important in every team sport, and specifically in tennis, the Pella High boys have had several opportunities to show Coach Lindsy Brandt how they can get along with their doubles partner, whoever it may be. Injuries have forced Coach Brandt’s hand this year, and with the conference meet approaching this Monday, plus districts not too long after, she says there are focused on finding the perfect fits for the Little Dutch to get as many to state as they can in singles and doubles. The Little Dutch go to Grinnell after the weekend for the Little Hawkeye Conference meet, which is scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m.
