Indianola Basketball Travels to DCG
The Indianola girls and boys basketball teams travel to Dallas Center-Grimes tonight for a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader, with big conference standings implications.
The #8 Indians girls have an uphill battle against class 4A defending state champion and current #2 Dallas Center-Grimes, who Indianola hasn’t been able to beat in their last three tries. Head coach Jeff Janssen tells KNIA Sports the Mustangs are one of the top teams in the state, and have been for some time, so the Indians will have to play their top game in order to come away with a win.
The Indians boys are ranked #6 in class 4A and undefeated on the season, currently maintaining the top spot in the conference with a 4-0 record, however the Mustangs are just a game behind at 3-1. The Indians are outscoring conference opponents by an average of 20 points so far, their only game closer than 20 being Norwalk.
The games can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the call. Pregame coverage begins at 6pm, with tip-off at 6:15.
