Both Pella Dutch teams in action found success at home events on Good Friday. The girls tennis team swept a home triangular that was shortened in the end by rain, defeating Webster City 9-0 and defeating 2024 state qualifiers Dike-New Hartford 5-1 before misty conditions prevented doubles competition. However, in the state tournament format, the Dutch would have won regardless of the outcome.

Pella’s boys golfers are in a tie for first after day one of the Dutch Masters two-day invitational at Bos Landen Golf Course. Pella is +26 in a tie with Solon for the top spot in the 18 team field that also includes defending 3A champions ADM in 3rd, Pella Christian in 4th, and Clear Lake in 5th. Pella’s top individuals in day one include Kyler Besick, who was two-over par and is currently 3rd in the individual standings, followed by Cole Floden in a tie for 8th and Patrick Bishara in a tie for 13th among solo players. Action resumes today at Bos Landen Golf Course. Find updated standings here.

Also in action today, the Pella boys tennis team hosts its home invitational tournament. Action begins at 8:30 p.m. just west of Pella High School. Both soccer teams are also on the road, as the #8 in 2A girls travel to #1 in 2A Waverly-Shell Rock and the boys head up to Des Moines for two matches, one against Hoover and the other against Waukee.
