A slow start did in Iola High’s junior varsity Monday.
Iola sophomore Kale Pratt gave the Mustangs a boost, running 48-, 3- and 68-yard touchdown runs.
Problem was, visiting Anderson County already led, 28-0, before Iola dented the scoreboard.
The Mustangs closed the gap twice to 14 points in the second half, but could draw no closer in a 46-28 setback.
Hayden Kelley scored Iola’s fourth touchdown with a 61-yard jaunt late in the fourth quarter.
Iola’s varsity will host Girard Friday for Homecoming.
