Iola High’s Fillies only have one home tennis meet a season. It was slated for Sept. 2 but was rained out and moved to Wednesday.
Independence and Parsons were able to make it back to Iola. Columbus wasn’t.
Also, Iola’s No. 2 singles player Hallie Wolf missed the meet because of illness.
Jasmine Bannister is Iola’s No. 1 singles player and played three matches — two in her division and against Independence’s No. 2 singles player. Bannister defeated Zoe McCollam of Independence 8-5.
In the No. 1 singles matches, Bannister lost 8-0 to Independence’s Diona Mendoza and 8-1 to Bailey Foster of Parsons.
Iola’s No. 1 doubles team of Dannette Newland and Autumn Snesrud lost both of its matches. Newland and Snesrud lost 8-0 to Ashlyn Conner and Erin Wesselowski of Independence and 8-4 to Brea Harris and Bre Rogers of Parsons.
