PRATT 35, HOISINGTON 28

Pratt (5-0, 5-0 CKL) rallied from a 28-20 deficit with second-half touchdowns by Landen Studer and all-state tailback Travis Theis. Hoisington (3-2, 2-1 CKL) won the CKL division last year.
“I’m fortunate to coach these guys who fought like that,” said Hoisington coach Zac Baird. “Our guys were fighting and our guys made plays. We made mistakes and you can’t do that against a good football team. Pratt has guys who made plays when we made mistakes.”

Urban’s score with 45 seconds left in the first half was followed by Gearhart’s interception with 27 seconds left. Haxton capped a 6-minute drive to start the second half.
