It’s the final full Friday night of high school basketball in the Tulip City as the Pella and Pella Christian basketball teams both play at home this evening.

Pella welcomes a pair of ranked DCG teams (#1 in 4A girls, #2 in 3A boys), while the Eagles host Newton for homecoming celebrations.

The Dutch boys, now #6 in 3A, are trying to keep their Little Hawkeye Conference championship hopes alive against the current league leader, a Mustangs team they defeated in Grimes in January. Pella’s girls are trying to find a signature win before the postseason against the DCG team now considered the favorite to win it all in Class 4A in March.

Pella Christian is trying to erase what was a difficult night Tuesday in Grimes in a pair of games where the Eagles offenses were both completely throttled, and will instead be featured this evening in what should be highly competitive contests against the Cardinals. Newton may be the best chance for the Eagles to find their first girls’ conference win of the season, while the #6 in 2A P.C. boys intend to right the ship against a Newton team that knocked off Pella last week.

Coverage of Pella vs. DCG and Pella Christian vs. Newton both begin at 6:00 this evening, with the Dutch on 92.1 KRLS and the Pella Dutch Live YouTube Channel, while the Eagles will be on KRLS2 and the Pella Christian High School YouTube Channel.
