The Iola Bulldogs are taking a road trip to challenge the Snook Bluejays at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that both suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Last Friday, Iola came up short against Burton and fell 65-58.
Meanwhile, it was a Battle of the Birds when Snook faced off against Hearne on Friday. Snook was beaten by Hearne 70-33. While losing is never fun, the Bluejays can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 1033rd, while the Eagles are ranked 491st).
Iola dropped their record down to 8-12 with the defeat, which was their third straight at home. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.7 points per game.
