After flying high against Brazos last Thursday, Snook came back down to earth. The Snook Bluejays took a 12-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Iola Bulldogs on Tuesday. The Bluejays were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bulldogs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
