The #1 seeded Pella boys soccer team is aiming to get to the final two of Class 2A soccer this afternoon when they take on #5 seed Gilbert. It’ll be a mix of oil and water on the pitch as the more offensive-minded Dutch take on one of the top defenses in central Iowa of the Tigers, who have given up just 10 goals on the season and shut down Marion’s Jackson Kirsch and his 55-goal season on Wednesday in a quarterfinals overtime win. Today’s victor will play Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against either Newton or Lewis Central in the 2A state championship. Pella vs. Gilbert state tournament semifinals soccer will start at 2:30 p.m. at the Cownie Sports Complex in Des Moines, with live coverage starting at 2 p.m. on 92.1 KRLS.
