Senior Ellie Carson looks to score while being guarded closely by a Chanute defender in the Fillies 52-39 loss on Friday.

Chanute’s pressure proved to be too great for the Fillies in their return home after tournament week last week. 

The Blue Comets pressed Iola right into a loss, beating them 52-38 Friday after a close first half spiraled out of control in the third quarter. 

The loss moves the Fillies to 5-7 overall this season. 

“We never gave up and we worked hard but we just had trouble with their press,” head coach Becky Carlson said. “We didn’t move well enough and we kept throwing backward instead of forward. They’re pretty quick and they have a nice press, I’m not going to take that away from them, but it still feels like we should’ve been able to do more.”
