HOISINGTON 40, PRATT 16 PRATT — When red-hot quarterback Kolter Hahn departed, Hoisington's future rising star rose to the occasion. Backup quarterback Colton Staudinger shocked Pratt with a 77-yard option run to help ignite a 32-point outburst en route to a dominating 40-16 victory over Pratt in 3A, District 6 football. The Cardinals finished with 358 yards rushing for their second consecutive 300-yard plus ground game. Hahn scored on a pair of 3-yard runs and had a 29-yard touchdown nullified on a penalty. Drake Martin scored on a 10-yard run and Dexter Klug added the finishing touch on a 25-yard touchdown run for a 40-8 lead. After an 8-8 halftime tie, Hoisington's defense intercepted three passes and Parker Turner recovered a fumble. Pratt quarterback Thimesch torched the Cardinal defense with top receiver Caleb Strong, who caught a 16-yard scoring strike. Vandiver scored on 10-yard scoring strike from Thimesch. Hoisington (3-2, 2-0) takes command of 3A District 6 with a pair of opening wins. The Cardinals face winless Larned (0-5), Nickerson (1-4) and Lyons (4-1) in District 6.
