The spring sports season kicks into full swing this week for Pella Christian. The Eagles track and field and girls soccer teams have two contests this week, while boys soccer, girls tennis, and golf each compete once. Pella Christian Head girls soccer Coach Mike Buchheit says he’s looking forward to getting the season started and seeing how good his squad can be.

“With 25 girls out, we’ve just got a really good 11 to 12 girls coming back that have played significant varsity minutes. And we have 6 new freshmen coming in and a couple upperclassmen, so we’re just excited about all the pieces we’ve got.”

The week of Pella Christian spring sports begins on Tuesday as the boys track and field team hosts the Pella Christian Early Bird meet at 4 p.m. while the girls track and field team is on the road for a meet at Chariton beginning at 4 p.m. The Eagles girls soccer team also competes Tuesday at Ottumwa with the game beginning at 6 p.m.
