After five days off for the Christmas holiday, the Pella girls basketball team returned to practice this week.  On Friday, Lady Dutch Head Coach Jerod Garland says the early part of the week was slow going,  but things improved in the following days.

“The first one we definitely had a little lead legs in the girls.  It wasn’t the greatest one, but you kind of expect that,” said Garland.   “On Wednesday we had a great practice, we focused almost completely on defense; and Thursday it wasn’t quite as strong, so we’ve been a little bit hit-or-miss this week.”

The Pella Girls are 6-1 overall this season, and will resume Little Hawkeye Conference play on Tuesday when they host Knoxville.
