The top 10 countdown of moments and stories from Pella High School in the past year takes us back to the mats for a special opening day at the 2023 state wrestling tournament. The Dutch qualified four individuals in the expanded 24-athlete tournament, and each of them made their first match count. Damion Clark, Peyton Ritzert, Logan Bruxvoort, and Jackson Van Kley each earned a pinfall victory in their first round matches. Van Kley would go on to place 8th after three days of competition. Riztert graduated from Pella Christian High School and will play football at Central this fall, while Bruxvoort and Clark are expected to return along with Jackson.
