Curry’s gem propels Mustangs past Chanute

In a near carbon copy of their victory over Chanute a week earlier, Iola jumped out to the early lead, then withstood a Blue Comet rally in the late innings. This time, Iola's Ryker Curry was dominant from start to finish in the Mustangs' 3-2 victory.

Ryker Curry was once again dominant on the mound, Iola High’s opportunistic offense took advantage when runners got on base, and the Mustangs withstood another late Chanute charge.

Sound familiar?

Iola’s 3-2 victory Friday was eerily similar to their season-opening 5-3 win at Chanute one week prior.
