2020 REVIEW
The Mustangs started off the season fairly strong. They won their season opener in a shutout victory, then fell to Parsons in a one-score game but bounced back to beat Wellsville for the first time since 2013. “We were heading into regionals on a pretty high note,” Daugharthy says. However, the middle of the season was troublesome for Iola. Back-to-back games were canceled due to COVID, causing a long gap in play. “It was a challenge not only because of the discontinuity but because our kids lost football games.” The Mustangs managed to close out the season with a win over Baxter Springs, finishing their short season with a 3-4 record.
