The Pella Christian girls basketball team returns to action tonight, in a Little Hawkeye Conference meeting with Grinnell. Lady Eagles Head Coach Kevin Van Maanen says his squad should match up well with the Tigers.

“I think we’re going to be matched up pretty well,” says Van Maanen. “I think they’ve got a lot of guards, speed, and they’re going to press. I think we can match up with their post [players], so I think it’s going to be critical that we take care of the basketball and handle their pressure…and hopefully we can control them.”

The girls’ game is the opening contest of a varsity doubleheader that tips off at 6:15 p.m. tonight at Pella Christian High School. You can hear live coverage with Eric Gotschall and Wynne Veenstra, starting at 6:00 p.m. on kniakrls.com.
