The Iola High boys and girls took it to Osawatomie, each winning by 30 points or greater in their home matchups on Tuesday night. 

The Mustangs (8-10) used a dominant offensive performance and forced a number of steals to score baskets in transition in a 70-32 blowout victory. The Iola girls (5-14) played stellar defense and held the Trojans to single digit scoring each quarter in a 47-17 drubbing.

Iola’s defense was on point in the first half against Osawatomie as they allowed only one point in the opening quarter, a Hailey Pope free throw. The Mustangs jumped a number of Trojan passes for steals and were strong on the glass, out-rebounding Osawatomie.
