Hot shooting allowed Pella High’s boys’ basketball team to run away with another blowout victory last night, defeating Oskaloosa, 88 – 52 in the first round of the Class 3A district tournament. The Little Dutch got out to an 18 – 2 lead in the first quarter and eventually led 52 – 26 by intermission. Pella’s ‘D’ once again played a big part in their victory last night, says Coach Mark Core. Will Warner was 8-for-9 shooting and scored 17 points, and Isaac Naaktgeboren had a game-high 18, as Pella’s boys have won 17-in-a-row and will take on Chariton over in Oskaloosa on Thursday in the district final.
