The Pella Little Dutch hit the road and earned their closest victory of the season against the ranked Carlisle Wildcats, 17-6 on a game heard on KNIAKRLS.com. Despite the fact that Noah Clayberg completed one pass for one yard, he was able to be a part of the two key defensive plays for Pella on defense, including a 33-yard fumble return for a score and an interception that sealed it with less than four minutes to play. Head coach Jay McKinstrey says his defense stepped up in a big way on an unusually quiet night for the offense. The 6 – 0 Little Dutch hit the road next week in their final non-district game of the season against Newton.
