NORTH NEWTON, Kan. — The Bethel College flag football team fell 48-6 to Pratt Community College on Wednesday evening at Thresher Stadium. Despite showing signs of progress offensively, the Threshers were unable to contain a fast-paced Pratt attack that scored in every quarter.
How It Happened
Pratt opened the scoring late in the first quarter and quickly built momentum, scoring three times in the second to take a 21-0 lead. Bethel's lone highlight came with 1:37 remaining in the half, when Kyndall Longman connected with Kathryn Schmidt for a touchdown, capping a 66-yard drive that featured a 52-yard catch by Xavia Mann.
The second half was all Pratt, as they added four more touchdowns while holding Bethel scoreless. The Threshers finished with 125 passing yards, but negative rushing totals and four turnovers kept them from building any rhythm.
