CARBONDALE — Momentum can shift in the blink of an eye.

Nevertheless, Iola High’s Mustangs were able to overcome one of the biggest momentum shifts in recent memory Tuesday evening while emerging with a 56-54 win over host Santa Fe Trail.

Iola was cruising down the stretch against the feisty Charger squad, leading by 14 in the waning seconds of the third quarter.

What followed was an astonishing sequence of plays, in which the host Chargers scored seven points in less than second — seven-tenths to be exact.
