Iola unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Waverly Bulldogs on Saturday.

While Iola ultimately came up short, they really made Waverly work, particularly in the first set. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 27-25, 25-18.
Waverly's victory bumped their record up to 3-0-2.
Coincidentally, Iola and Waverly will both be playing Baldwin the next time they take the court. The Bulldogs will head out to face the Bulldogs on Saturday, while the Mustangs will play them later in the day, at 9:00 a.m.
