A celebration has been scheduled for Pella Head Football Coach Jay McKinstrey in his final regular season home game this evening against Gilbert.

All current Pella High School students are invited to a free meal before the game by Central College. Immediately following the competition, the seniors will take their traditional final walk before a fireworks celebration.

Carson Wealth, under the leadership of former Pella state football champion Zach Vande Weerd, is hosting a special celebration for those directly connected to the program on Saturday at Pella High School.

“We welcome all former and current players, coaches, trainers, managers, statisticians, chain crew, media personnel, and any others who were directly involved in the Pella High Football Program to come celebrate Coach Mac’s retirement with one of his favorite treats, a chocolate malt, on Saturday October 26th at the Pella High School Commons,” a social media post read.

Tune into a special feature about the coaching rivals of McKinstrey sharing their thoughts about his legacy during the Jeromy Dingeman Concrete Football Friday Night Radio Preview show at 4:30 this afternoon on 92.1 KRLS.
