With five games against teams with winning records out of Christmas Break, the Pella Christian boys basketball team knew a difficult stretch was on the horizon.

After returning from the holidays with a loss to Newton, the Eagles have won the last three games by double figures over Pella, Knoxville, and Dallas Center-Grimes. While they’ve enjoyed their recent success, Pella Christian knows their biggest test so far this season awaits them Friday night at Indianola. Knowing that easy games are a rarity for the Eagles, junior guard Dane Geetings says the team understands that joy can’t come from success alone.

“I think we kind of know what we’re up against when we start the season, we got a lot of hard games, but you just gotta find the joy in like even practicing. You just gotta find joy in everything that we’re doing and then you gotta enjoy the wins that you get.”

Pella Christian will look to push their current winning streak to four games in a tough battle with undefeated and Class 4A #5 ranked Indianola Friday night.
