The Mustangs were in a great spot to secure the district title on Thursday night at home.
Iola junior cornerback Isaac Vink intercepted a pass from Girard do-it-all quarterback Eric Wilson and sprinted back 30-plus yards for a touchdown to give his team a 25-24 lead with 11:03 to go in the fourth quarter.
“It was amazing,” Iola coach Doug Kerr said. “We set it up. He did a great job of understanding coaching and made a great break on it.”
