BURLINGTON — In a fitting microcosm of their 2014 season, Iola High’s Mustangs brought several thrills to the legions of supporters who followed them to Burlington Tuesday for the Class 4A-II Regional Tournament.
But the youthful Iola squad, with six freshmen and sophomores playing leading roles, couldn’t find the big hits necessary in game 2, a 7-6 heartbreaker at the hands of Burlington High in the championship game.
The loss sends Iola home for the season with a 13-9 record.
