The Iola High School football team was shut out by Girard on senior night on Friday, 47-0. 

Girard wasted no time getting on the scoreboard when Luke Niggeman rushed the ball into the end zone from 19 yards out on the Trojans’ first drive of the game for the 6-0 lead. 

Adam Shireman rushed in the next touchdown for the Trojans on a two- yard run. Girard then proceeded to score the two-point conversion for a first quarter 14-0 advantage. 

“From a defensive perspective, we need to be more assignment-sound,” said Iola head coach David Daugharthy. “We’re going to learn about our character in the next week because after a tough loss like this, getting shut out on senior night, we’re going to find out what kind of men are in this locker room.”
