Pella was competitive but couldn’t topple DCG at home Thursday night, falling 42-27.

Pella earned pinfalls in three consecutive weight classes, with Nate Kissinger (195), Braydon Peterson (220), and Tyler VanderMolen (285) — and Vander Molen’s fall came in the final second of the match. Logan Schroeder (106), Tyson Mick (120), and Ryan Van Donselaar (138) all won by decision. Pella’s wrestlers will next attend a scheduled invitational in Williamsburg Saturday, weather permitting.
