The Pella boys golf team picked a perfect time to shine as they won the Class 3A Sectional Golf meet at Willow Creek in Des Moines yesterday shooting a 304, three strokes better than three time defending state champions Ballard who finished second with a 307. Knoxville finished fourth with a 342 led by Blake McWilliams with an 84 and saw their season come to an end.

Pella was led by Sophomore Lucas Boyd who earned runner up medalist after winning a three hole playoff with a 72, Andy Vanderbroek shot a 75, Ben Fessler shot a 78 and Conner Kelderman fired a 79.
