As area basketball teams continue to work themselves into shape, most are using a combination of short and long-term goals to serve as motivation in those challenging early practices. For the Pella Christian girls, they have set some big goals for this season, in hopes of maximizing their potential.

Lady Eagles Head Coach Kevin Van Maanen says his team has set their sights on big challenges – like a conference title and State Tournament berth – but they’ve also made a point to concentrate on small goals that can be accomplished each day in practices and games. The Pella Christian girls are already out to a good start on their goal list, as the Lady Eagles are 2-0 so far this season.
