The 2011 high school football season will come to a conclusion this weekend, and the members of this year’s Pella High football team are using this time to decompress and take a little time away from the game for themselves before regrouping and beginning to plan for next year.

Little Dutch head football coach Jay McKinstrey says the coaching staff will get back together in January to begin making plans for the 2012 season, and in a few weeks some of the players will begin offseason weightlifting programs.

Pella went 10-2 this past season, reaching the Quarterfinal round of the Class 3A Playoffs.
