The Dutch and Eagles golf teams opened the 2022 boys golf season with a talented field as Pella placed 3rd and Pella Christian took 4th at the Newton Invitational.
Will Simpson of the Dutch picked up where he left off in his 2021 All-State and All-Tournament team season, winning the meet medal with an even-par 71. Pella Christian received an impressive freshman debut by Elliot Menninga, who placed 9th with an 84, followed by a 10th place finish for Sophomore Isaiah Breems.
The Dutch are next in action Thursday in a varsity triangular at home with Knoxville and Gilbert; the Eagles varsity is off until the first of three conference regular season meets on Tuesday, April 12th at Grinnell.
