The Pella wrestling team is entering the stretch run of the winter season and host multiple-time conference champions Norwalk to start the new year.

Pella Head Coach Jay Pike says they need to embrace the opportunity, especially with the postseason looming, knowing that in order to get to state, there will need to be wins against those with the talent of the Warriors.

“It’s definitely something we want to strive for, is to be able compete with them on a yearly basis, but they’ve done a good job building that program up,” he says. “When it comes to these duals — it’s going to come down to attack guys right away and scoring bonus points.”

Matches begin at 6:30 this evening at Pella High School.
