Pella Christian Unable to Upset Ranked Des Moines Christian Teams
The Pella Christian basketball teams kept it close in a varsity doubleheader with Des Moines Christian Saturday, but were unable to upset the ranked Lions, with the Eagles girls falling 54-39 and the boys 44-41, as heard live on 92.1 KRLS. It was a second half comeback that fell short for Pella Christian’s boys, as they trailed at one point 34-22 just outside of the halftime break, and had three opportunities to tie or take a lead against the No. 1 on BCMoore Lions, but missed those and ultimately fell. Eric Mulder and Niko Schirz each tallied 14 points in the effort to lead the Eagles.
