January 9th was a memorable inside of the Pella High gymnasium, as the Pella High basketball teams swept ADM in a doubleheader heard live on 92.1 KRLS, with our No. 6 moment coming at the end of the festivities.

The Pella boys earned a 65-62 win on a bank-shot buzzer-beater by Grant Nelson, Pella built a nine-point halftime lead, but went cold as ADM pulled ahead by six with less than three minutes to play. The Little Dutch defense forced several turnovers down the stretch, allowing them to tie the game before Nelson’s 22-foot heave at the horn (hear below):

Earlier in the night, it was another milestone night for Emily Holterhaus. The Lady Dutch senior hit a driving layup in the second quarter for her 1,000th career point, and her 22-point 17-rebound night led Pella to victory.

It was among many special moments in the senior year of the stellar four year star, who we will address later in our top-ten countdown, which comes back Monday with No. 5.
