Big run propels Baldwin to semis
Baldwin ? The Baldwin High boys basketball team used a big first-half run to overcome Iola’s hot start and secure a 70-52 victory in the opening round of the Class 4A sub-state tournament on the Bulldogs’ home floor.
The 15-2 run gave Baldwin (15-6) a seven-point lead at the half, and the Bulldogs continued to extend that margin after the break.
Aaron Hannon led Baldwin with 16 points. Jeremy Wright (14), Ryan Jorgensen (12) and Blake Wieden (11) also added double-digit scoring.
The Bulldogs (15-6) will play host to Santa Fe Trail on Friday in the sub-state semifinals.

The Chargers (10-11) also stepped up their defensive pressure in the third quarter, allowing just four points to create some breathing room.
