Ezra Powis Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Ezra Powis posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bethel over Kingston on Thursday. Powis rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 74 yards.
This is the second loss in a row for Bethel and nudges their season record down to 2-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Harrah at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
