Iola Middle School’s volleyball teams had lots of wild momentum swings Monday.

The Mustang eighth-grade A team fell, 3-2, to visiting Prairie View.

“The girls played great during the two sets we won,” IMS head coach Terri Carlin said. “The other sets were a little rough.”

Iola won the opener, 25-9, fell in the second set, 25-9, then rebounded to win the third, 25-22. But Prairie View ended with a flourish, outscoring Iola, 25-9, to force the fifth-set tiebreaker, which the Buffalos won, 15-9.

“We had several girls step up and play well. Madison Hall had a great game and was really a leader on the court,” said Carlin.
