The last Little Hawkeye Conference home doubleheader is tonight for the Indianola basketball teams as they host the Mustangs of Dallas Center Grimes. The #6 Indians boys can clinch at least a share of the conference title tonight with a win, and they will try to match their hard-fought win on the road earlier this year where they defeated the Mustangs 46-45 on a game-winner at the buzzer.
Head coach Jeff Ebling tells KNIA Sports the Indians have had some periods of cold shooting stretches, and will have to try and play their way out of it as the season goes on.
The #13 Indians girls had a halftime lead against #1 Dallas Center-Grimes, but were outscored 22-5 in the third quarter and didn’t have enough offense to get back into the contest. The Indians are trying to break a losing streak against the Mustangs, not having won since December of 2020.
The games will be broadcast live on 94.3 KNIA and online on the Indianola Activities YouTube channel, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6pm, with tip-off at 6:15pm.
