In the past, Iola High head football coach David Daugharthy had not been heavily involved in his programs JV team. This year, things are different.
Daugharthy is making an emphasis to invest in the Mustangs youth, and see which players can make an impact under the bright lights on Friday nights.
I feel like one of my struggles is investing in the younger kids, Daugharthy said. So much of our practice time is devoted to the varsity. So me being here shows that the JV is still important, and I want to see those kids grow.
