Other schools participating were Iola High’s baseball Mustangs, as well as baseball and softball teams from Labette County and the Jayhawk-Linn softball team.
Iola “won” both of its baseball scrimmages, 6-0 against the Cubs and 4-3 over Labette County.
Meanwhile, Humboldt baseball ended its afteroon with a 6-3 win over the Grizzlies.
The Lady Cub softball team forged a 2-2 tie with Jayhawk-Linn before time expired in the opener and fell, 9-0, to Labette County.
