The Pella basketball teams will celebrate their senior players in the final regular season doubleheader of the winter tonight. The #4 ranked Pella boys' team, currently tied for the Little Hawkeye Conference title, will host Dallas Center-Grimes. The Pella girls' team, winners of five straight, will also face the Mustangs in a potential regional final preview.

Why it matters

This is the last chance for Pella's senior basketball players to be recognized on their home court before the postseason begins. The boys' team is fighting for a conference title, while the girls' team is preparing for a potential playoff rematch against a top-ranked opponent.

The details

The Pella boys' team is currently tied for first place in the Little Hawkeye Conference standings with Norwalk. They'll look to claim at least a share of the league title with a win over Dallas Center-Grimes, whom they defeated 53-46 in January. The Pella girls' team has won five straight games, but hasn't beaten DCG since 2019. The IGHSAU bracket release has placed the two teams in the same regional, setting up a potential finals matchup.

  • The doubleheader begins at 5:45 PM on February 13, 2026.
  • The Pella boys' team last played Dallas Center-Grimes on January 16, 2026.
