Two battle-tested teams meet up in the Tulip City tonight for a ticket to Des Moines and the Class 4A state girls’ basketball tournament. Boone and Pella High have played similar opponents with nearly alike results. The Toreadors have faced Ballard, Norwalk, A-D-M, Carlisle, Newton, and Dallas Center – Grimes, going a combined 6 – 3 against those schools. Strong guard play and a big post presence are their two strengths, says Coach Jerod Garland. The Lady Dutch’s only two tallies in the loss column have come to the Bombers and Fillies in the third and fourth games of the season. Both teams’ stats are very similar, and Garland adds that it should be a benefit to play at home in front of a large crowd like they had on Saturday. Tonight’s game can be heard live on 92.1 KRLS, KNIAKRLS.com, and via our free mobile app. Cory Houser and Brian Vande Lune will call the action with the pre-game show starting at 6:40 with tip-off schedule for 7:00.
