Pella Girls Head Coach Adam Hale:
“I was really happy with how we wrestled tonight. I thought our level of aggressiveness took another good step forward. We scuffled in that department a bit for a meet or two, so it was nice to see that come out again. Getting to compete in the dual environment tonight was great. We had great crowds from both towns in the stands, and we enjoyed getting to see the boys team wrestling tonight.”

Pella’s boys head to South Tama and the girls are in Ankeny on Saturday.
