The Pella Christian boys soccer team is set to play in the Class 1A State Tournament quarterfinals on Monday, marking the first time in ten years that the Eagles have reached the state stage.
Their route to the quarterfinal has been built on two shutout victories, first over Mediapolis and then against Burlington Notre Dame, which secured the tournament berth.
Quarterfinal Showdown with an Undefeated Opponent
West Sioux, also unbeaten in its substate bracket, brings a high‑scoring offense that has rattled nets 73 times this season and sits fifth in the Class 1A rankings.
In contrast, the Eagles have been stingy at the back, conceding only 22 goals across 19 matches, a testament to a disciplined defensive unit.
The upcoming clash pits a defense that has barely cracked under pressure against an attack that has been relentless all year, setting the stage for a tightly contested battle.
