Less than 24 hours after beating top ranked Norwalk the Pella boys suffered a 62-55 loss at home to Washington Saturday afternoon. Pella trailed 23-22 at halftime then battled back to gain a 35-34 lead heading into the fourth quarter but the Demons outscored the Little Dutch 28-20 in the final quarter to get the win. Chris Bandstra led Pella with 15 points and Deckar Lynch and Nathan Buchheit each scored 12 as Pella fell to 16-3 on the season. With Pella’s win over Norwalk Friday and Norwalk’s win over Pella Christian Saturday Pella is co-Little Hawkeye Conference champions with Norwalk. It’s the first conference title for Pella since 2004. The Little Dutch close out the regular season at Centerville Tuesday night in a boys only contest then begin post season play next Monday hosting Centerville.
