Then things passed them by. Fort Scott No. 1 beat Iola 25-21, 25-22 and Independence handed the Fillies a 25-22, 25-17 loss.
“Our passing made all the difference tonight. The girls weren’t communicating well,” said Casey Greenwood, IHS assistant coach. “When things went well it was all because of great passing and hustling.”

Against Fort Scott No. 1, Ambrose had two service aces and Thompson had one. At the net, Sigg, Lee and Ambrose each had two kills, Thompson, Paige Miller and Hannah Barclay each had a kill.
