On a special homecoming night where the first class of Fillies from 1974 was honored, the current Fillies couldn’t navigate a way to victory lane on Friday against Burlinton.
The Wildcats completed the Pioneer League sweep with a 32-27 victory.
“It’s just disappointing because I thought we could beat them, and it is homecoming,” Fillies head coach Becky Carlson said. “The girls wanted to win so bad, but we didn’t.”
Two buckets from Becca Sprague, including an and-one finish helped Iola keep pace with Burlington early. Hannah Gardner leveled the score at 7-7, and Iola and Burlington remained even at 9-9 heading into the second. Both Sprague and Gardner received high praise from Carlson.
