The Pella wrestling team opened the 2019 season with a split in Ottumwa Tuesday, falling to the hosts 46-33 but coming back to take down Davis County 42-33 in a pair of duals. Ryan Van Donselaar, Nathan Born, and Braydon Peterson were all 2-0 with falls. Ryan Hancock and Ethan Milligan also earned two victories. The Dutch led by only three heading into the final three matches, and Jordan DeRuiter picked up a dramatic fall and Peterson found victory in his win. Pella is 1-1 in dual meets to open the year and head to Knoxville Thursday.
