CHANUTE — Iola High School’s tennis season came to an end Friday in the Class 4A Regionals.
The Mustangs took singles players Sam Fager and Ethan Riebel to the Chanute High School tennis courts.
Fager, a senior, fell in two sets to fifth-seeded Sol Hanna of Coffeyville-Field Kindley, 6-0, 6-0.
Riebel, a freshman, fell in straight sets to eighth-seeded Cannon Dixon of Labette County, 6-0, 6-0.
Despite the scores, head coach Chris Belknap said both played well against tough competition.
“They’ve played both of those guys before,” he said.
“We’re sad to see Sam go, for sure,” Belknap continued. “It’s been a great time having him. He’s been a good asset for the team, playing strong, having fun, helping get other people out for the team.
“Ethan had a great freshman season, and has set a good foundation for the future,” he continued. “He’s looking to bring lots of kids into the program as well.”
