The Pella Christian boys soccer team is playing for a chance to compete in the state tournament at noon today.

The 12-4 Eagles are set to face rival Des Moines Christian on Eagle Lane. The two teams played earlier this season, with Pella Christian riding tough defense to a 1-0 victory.

Lion’s junior Shawn McGuire will be the key player the Eagles will want to slow down — he’s scored nine goals and tacked on eight assists this season.
