PITTSBURG — Iola High’s Fillies fell flat in tournament play Saturday.
The Fillies went winless in the Pittsburg High Invitational, losing the seventh-place match 25-13, 25-19 to Girard.
“It was disappointing to come off of such good play at our home tournament to get last place in the Pittsburg tournament,” said Emily Sigg, Fillies’ head coach. “We came out flat and not ready to play. We couldn’t get out of that slump all day.”
Iola lost 25-14, 25-11 to Paola then dropped a 25-19 25-14 decision to Labette County, a team the Fillies beat last week at the IHS Invitational. Fort Scott defeated Iola 25-12, 23-25, 25-23.
“I saw some hope in the Fort Scott match when we won a set but we just couldn’t stay consistent to win the match,” Sigg said.
Then came the loss to Girard.
Leading the Fillies’ net attack for the day was Emery Driskel with 25 kills and two blocks. Driskel delivered 11 kills against Fort Scott. Addie Haar downed 13 kills and had three blocks. Breanna Stout had eight kills and Katie Thompson made five kills.
Emma Piazza was credited with 30 set assists plus made two kills and a block at the net. Kyra Moore had 19 assists and one kill. Emma Sigg put down two kills.
Driskel had four ace servers, Moore had two aces and Thompson had one ace serve. Piazza served for 10 points while Moore and Hannah Endicott each had five service points and Driskel had four points.
Keli Lee had 19 digs and Endicott came up with 16 digs. Sigg and Stout each had five digs while Driskel and Thompson each had four digs and Moore had three digs.
Iola is 3-12 overall. The Fillies open Pioneer League play at home — their only home league matches of the season — Tuesday against Central Heights and Prairie View. Matches begin at 4:30 p.m.
