Just under halfway through their campaign, the Pella High boys’ basketball team has been playing extremely well. That may seem obvious, given that they are sitting at a 7 – 2 mark and have won their last five in a row. Even with the slow start to the season, getting guys back, having some out with injury here-and-there, the Little Dutch are shooting better than 50% from the field, and are averaging over 73 points per game. Coach Mark Core says he’s pleased with where his team is at near the midway point of the year. Pella will be tested with back-to-back games coming up the next two days, with a road game at Oskaloosa followed by a home test against PCM.
