PARSONS — It’s a subtle ritual for Kent Toland. Unless a person is watching the Iola High senior just before he takes the court, they wouldn’t notice it.
Toland reached down in his bag, sitting at courtside, and held something just before he went on the court Saturday morning. This is what he had been working for all season, an opportunity for a regional championship.
Not many singles players figured out Toland this season. With a 6-1, 6-1 win over Max Manley of Coffeyville Saturday, Toland became Iola High’s third regional champion since 1999.
