Iola High’s junior varsity squad started quickly, scoring on its first possession of the game with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Carter Hutton to Jake Skahan Monday.

But things went south from there, as visiting Wellsville scored the next 38 points for a  38-6 victory.

Among the participants were, at top, Landon Weide attempting a pass from the Mustang end zone; at lower left, Iola’s Drayden Reiter (44) and Cody Wille (65) harassing Wellsville quarterback Drake Richards (2); and at lower right, Iola’s Gage Skahan, left, attempting to elude the grasp of Eagle defender Kye Fouts.

Iola’s C team will host Wellsville at 4:30 p.m. Friday. The varsity is at home Friday against Frontenac, while the JV squad visits Frontenac next Monday.
