If Pella High’s boys are to make it to the Cownie Sports Complex in Des Moines, they’ll have to upset one of the favorite’s to win it all in Class 2A this year.

The Little Dutch soccer team will take on conference foe and No. 1 Norwalk this afternoon at the home of the Warriors. Senior Will Warner tells KNIA/KRLS Sports that when the two teams faced off earlier this year, his team was not at their best, and says Pella is playing top level soccer now.

“We feel like we have a few guys that weren’t really fully healthy and playing with us in the first game,” Warner says. “[In the first game] they really got some good shots on goal, but towards the end of that game, we really would have some of the momentum.”

The Warriors beat Pella High 3-0 earlier this season. The Dutch travel to Norwalk to play at 2 p.m.
