Four winter sports teams from Pella High School were in action Saturday.
Pella Girls Wrestlers 3rd at Newton Invitational
At the Newton Cardinal Classic, the Dutch girls wrestling team took 3rd out of 12 teams. Head Coach Adam Hale:
“It was a true team effort today as we had 10 varsity wrestlers competing with all 10 scoring points for us. We also had three JV wrestlers competing in the varsity brackets with two of those getting some wins along the way. I was again just so happy with how hard our girls are wrestling. The effort is there from each one of our girls and you can really see the difference. Sometimes movement beats moves, and some girls are winding up on the positive side of that. This past week was maybe the best we’ve had as a program. We worked a lot on little things and the girls did a really good job of locking in and focusing on maximizing their reps.”
The Pella girls are in action on Tuesday at Norwalk.
