Hoisington Football vs Pratt 9-30-16

Week Five of the Football season brought two teams together to decide a league title. The Hoisington Cardinals traveled to face the Pratt Greenbacks in their first home game of the season.

Both teams came into the game with undefeated records and the chance to claim the best record in the Central Kansas League.

In a battle of running games, the Cardinals got on the board first. After a second Hoisington touchdown, Pratt tallied one of their own. Hoisington added one more before Halftime and put away the game later in the Fourth Quarter to win 32 to 14.
