CHANUTE — Iola High’s doubles team of Bryan Mueller and Colby Works is state-bound.
The duo won their first two matches of Friday’s Class 4A Regional Tournament, guaranteeing a top-four finish and a berth in the Class 4A State Tournament next weekend in Winfield.
Regionals action — and a potential regional championship — resumes at 10 o’clock this morning at the Chanute High School tennis courts.
Mueller and Works opened the tournament as the fourth seed and defeated 13-seed Danny Benavides and Christian Villamar of Chanute, 6-0, 6-1.
They then swept past Ottawa High’s Vince Sylvester and Alex Reed, the fifth seeds, 6-3, 6-2, to earn the state berth.
Mueller and Works were the only Iola participants to make it past the first round.
In No. 1 singles play, Iola’s Tyler Heinrich fell, 6-1, 6-1, to Independence’s Zach Stacy. Isaiah Fawson fell, 6-0, 6-1 to Fort Scott’s Gage Addington.
The Mustangs’ No. 2 doubles team of Mason Key and Rhett Allen were defeated, 6-0, 6-0, by Sylvester and Reed of Ottawa.
Full details of the tennis tournament will be in Monday’s Register.
