The Indianola boys soccer team fell to Dallas Center-Grimes 1-0 on their home field. Head coach Heath Weeks tells KNIA Sports the squad is still working to establish how they want to play the game after over a year off before starting the season.

“For this group they have a special opportunity to develop a new identity not just for the team but for the program. So we are embracing that and we are discovering that but it’s a process and we are still early enough where we don’t have those answers yet but we are going to find them out.”

The Indians are now 1-5 on the season and play county rival Carlisle on Thursday.
