BURLINGTON — The Iola Fillies lost to the Rock Creek Mustangs by a nose Monday afternoon. The 30-28 overtime loss was the final game in a Burlington Invitational Tournament, which saw the Fillies, despite hard-fought contests throughout, reduced to last place.
Besides sharing a common horsy sobriquet, the two teams ran a similar high-low offense and scrappy man-to-man defense, and appeared for most of Monday’s game evenly matched.
But Iola head coach Becky Carlson put her finger on the problem: “We just couldn’t score.”
In fairness, neither…
