Playing competitively at home for the first time this season, Iola Middle School’s volleyball teams dropped four matches Thursday.
The IMS eighth-grade A-team and visiting Pittsburg Community Middle School’s Purple Dragons went three sets. Pittsburg won 25-18, 18-25, 15-12.
“We lost a heartbreaker. Pittsburg had some great servers and hitters. We did a pretty good job passing the ball,” said Terri Carlin, IMS eighth-grade coach.
