A seven-point run in the first minute and a half of the fourth quarter gave visiting Chanute High’s Blue Comets the separation they needed. Iola High’s Mustangs had pushed the Comets through three quarters of play in Monday’s makeup game.
The Mustangs, who are winless in Southeast Kansas League play and have one win all season, had the Blue Comets in a tough spot. Iola led 27-24 at halftime.
At the midway mark of the third quarter, the Mustangs were up by one. They were down one 36-35 and made a strong defensive stand at the end of the third period.
