The Indianola girls and boys basketball teams make the road trip to Grinnell tonight for a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader, their first action in 2023 after the holiday break. The #7 Indians girls are 3-0 in the conference, but will play a Grinnell team that was on fire to end the 2022 portion of their schedule, winning their last three games by an average of 24 points. The Indians have played a brutal schedule so far, including a pair of ranked class 5A teams and ranked Carlisle in class 4A.

The Indians boys are undefeated and ranked #6 in class 4A, off to their best start in years. They face a Grinnell team that has gone unblemished in their non-conference portion of the schedule, but are 0-3 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. Head coach Jeff Ebling tells KNIA Sports just because the Indians have had success against the Tigers in the past, he knows they are going to get everyone’s best shot because of the early season wins.

The game can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6pm, with tip-off at 6:15.
