Iola Hoopla

What an exciting day to be part of the Iola community! They actually closed school here today because Iola was playing in the state high school boys basketball tournament in Madison.

For people who didn't leave town or take off work for the game, they aired it over our Musak system this morning. Some of us (including me) donned some black and orange to be true "athletic supporters."

It was such an exciting game to listen to. I'm sure it was quite a nail-biter for the hundreds of fans who left town at the crack of dawn to see the action in person. At one point, the Iola-Scandinavia T-Birds were behind by 16 points. They outscored Eau Claire Regis 20-8 in the fourth quarter to win 53-50! Now they'll play the championship game on Saturday.

I hope Luck fares the same on Friday!
