GARNETT — Losses where you play great are maybe the most bitter pill to swallow. 

Sometimes you bring a winning effort but luck and happenstance stand in the way of actually being able to draw a ‘W’ next to your name after the final buzzer. 

Such was the situation for the Iola boys who gave a talented and previously ranked Anderson County team all they could handle on their home floor Saturday after a full week off. The Mustangs lost to the Bulldogs, 57-54. 

“I heard one of their guys walking off the court say that this was the worst that they had played all year and there is a reason for that,” Bycroft said. “We busted our tails on the defensive end. Everyone did. I can’t be more proud of what we did to them defensively.”
