The Melcher-Dallas basketball squads will head to Des Moines to play Iowa Christian in the Bluegrass Conference opener for the Saints. The boys are hoping for better things this season after a one win season a year ago. Coach Jim Wells tells KNIA/KRLS Blaise Cooper and Ethan Harrington have been guarding each other in practice…and it makes both of them better. The Saints girls will look for their first win tonight. The doubleheader is scheduled to start at six.
