Pressure can be a fickle beast.

Three straight losses, capped by a shutout defeat at the hands of Frontenac last week, had Iola High’s Mustangs scuffling.

Their offensive struggles continued early Friday against Anderson County as the Bulldogs took a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter.

But in the span of two passes — 56- and 87-yard bombs from Landon Weide to TJ Taylor — that pressure was swatted away like a pesky fly.
