Iola High’s volleyball team had taken its lumps over the past few years.
The tide changed in the fall of 2023, when the Mustangs won more games, 22, than they had the previous two seasons combined.
That trend continued this season, as Iola racked up another 21 victories, thanks in no small part to the team’s core group of seniors.
Pioneer League coaches took notice as well, recognizing IHS seniors Reese Curry and Alana Mader with first-team honors, and classmate Elza Clift, who earned second-team all-league honors.
