As area high schools, including Iola, wrap up the regular basketball season this week, the focus turns to Monday with the start of substate playoff action.
Iola’s Mustangs and Fillies are scheduled to open Class 4A-II Substate play starting March 3 in Burlington, although those pairings will not be announced until Friday.
Other schools in their substates are host Burlington and Santa Fe Trail. (As an aside, Iola is at Santa Fe Trail tonight to wrap up the regular season.)
