The Indianola boys and girls tennis squads, soccer squads, and track and field teams were in action Tuesday.

The Indianola boys soccer team hosted Pella, dropping the contest 2-0 to the Little Dutch in Little Hawkeye Conference action. Head coach Heath Weeks tells KNIA Sports his team is still finding their identity, but their defense has been strong for their first two games and the next step to find some success will be turning that into offense on the other end. The Indians are now 0-2 on the season, and will next play Tuesday on the road at Pella Christian.
