Pella’s boys tennis team and girls golf team will be represented at their respective state tournaments today.

For the Little Dutch tennis team, it’s their first trip to the state final four since a Kyle Korver led squad made the semifinals in 1999.

Third-seeded Pella will play second-seeded Cedar Rapids Xavier at the Waveland Tennis Courts in Des Moines this morning. The other semifinal will take place at the same time between number one LeMars and fourth-seeded Kuepmer Catholic of Carroll.

The winners will square off for the state championship an hour after the semifinals are completed, while the losers will play a consolation match at the same time.

The two-day girls golf state meets also take place throughout Iowa today and tomorrow.

In class 4-A, Pella’s Lauren Van Wyk will compete as an individual at Elmwood Country Club in Marshalltown. She earned her spot with a top five finish at the regional tournament in Adel last week.
