PELLA — The postseason started a day late for No. 2 Pella as storms pushed their substate quarterfinal game with Keokuk back to Saturday night. When they were finally able to get underway it was all Dutch as they rolled to an 8-0 shutout win.

“The first playoff game can always be one of the trickiest ones just to get off to a good start,” Pella head coach Jesse Jablonski said. “And sometimes there’s nerves that can come into play there when you get to the one and done format of the playoffs. But we’ve got a really good experienced group that have been here before and know what it takes.”
