A busy week continued Tuesday evening for Iola Middle School on the hardwood.
The Mustangs, who hosted a tournament on Saturday and Prairie View on Monday, returned to the court to host Wellsville for a tripleheader.
The Eagles swept all three games, defeating Iola’s eighth-graders 29-17. Colton Thompson led Iola with five points. Bently Zarhouni, Reed Clift and Mosiah Fawson added four points each.
Wellsville’s seventh-graders pulled away to win, 51-4. Logan Thompson-Belknap and Braylon Keithly scored two points each for IMS.
The Eagles won the junior varsity affair, 31-12. Kevon Loving scored six, while Jace Warner, Ethan Hunt and Robert McLaughlin scored two apiece for Iola.
The Mustangs are back in action at home Thursday against Santa Fe Trail.
Due to a numbers crunch, Iola will no longer sport separate junior varsity teams for both the seventh and eighth grades, instead suiting up a combined JV.
