NORTH NEWTON, Kan. — The Bethel College flag football team closed out its 2025 campaign with a 33-6 loss to Hesston College on Wednesday night at Thresher Stadium, concluding the first season under head coach Felicia Teeter.
Bethel's highlight came in the first quarter when Kyndall Longman launched a 51-yard pass to Nevaeh Gonzales for a touchdown, giving the Threshers an early 6-0 lead. It marked one of the longest plays of the season and a flash of the offensive potential developed during the year.
Despite the strong start, Hesston answered quickly and gradually pulled away. Bethel's offense showed some rhythm in the first half but struggled to maintain momentum, while turnovers and short fields allowed the Larks to extend their lead.
