The Iola Middle School Mustangs picked up a win while on the road Thursday at Santa Fe Trail.
According to a post by Iola Middle School Athletic Director Scott Brady, the seventh-grade Mustangs opened the evening with a 22-6 victory while the eighth-grade Mustangs fell 40-2 and the JV Mustangs fell 17-12.
In the opener, seventh-grader Elliot Sigg netted a team-leading 12 points, followed by Abby Boeken with eight.
With the win, the seventh-grade Mustangs improved to 6-1.
In the eighth-grade game, Cora Boren scored Iola’s only points. The eighth-grade Mustangs are 0-7.
In JV action, the Mustangs nearly pulled off the win but fell 5 points short in the 17-12 loss. Hilary Gean and Maicy Kimball had 6 points each. The IMS JV stand at 3-4.
The Mustangs will not have long to think about Thursday’s losses. They return to the hardwood Monday for a road trip to LaCygne as they take on the Prairie View Buffalos. Games begin at 4 p.m. with two quarters of JV action, followed by the seventh-grade Mustangs, then the eighth-graders for the finale.
