The Pella and Pella Christian boys golf teams featured some of their best golf of the season at a loaded Oskaloosa Invitational Tuesday.

Pella placed 7th as a team (333) and the Eagles at 9th (344), both the lowest 18-hole team scores of the season so far in a field featuring seven of the top 23 teams in Class 3A boys golf.
