Pella Christian will hit the road to Adel to take on the ADM basketball teams in the first boys-girls doubleheader of the new winter season.

The 1-1 Eagles girls face a Tigers team searching for their first win. Pella Christian had an uneven start before the Thanksgiving holiday, cruising by Van Meter 54-32 and struggling with foul trouble in a 44-28 loss to Montezuma, while ADM has fallen to Van Meter and Norwalk.

Pella Christian’s boys are beginning their season in what they hope is a 4th straight state tournament appearance and the program’s 15th all-time. Head Coach Larry Hessing tells KNIA/KRLS Sports this week will feature a lot of experimenting when it comes to the main rotation for a new group of varsity players.

The Eagles boys have won their last three matchups with the Tigers since the 2014-15 season.

Coverage from Adel of the Eagles basketball first doubleheader of the season begins at 5:45 p.m. on 92.1 KRLS, kniakrls.com, and the free KRLS mobile app, with Andrew Schneider and Wynne Veenstra hitting the road for live play-by-play.
