HESSTON 23, HOISINGTON 16

HESSTON — The Hoisington Cardinals were a few first downs away from a hard-fought victory over Hesston.

But Hesston standout Gavin Larson made the Cardinals pay for a late-game fumble by catching a miraculous 54-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Humphreys.

Cardinal Leighton Eubanks played perfect defense, but Larson deflected the football and raced into the endzone.

Larson scored a 14-yard pass from Humphreys and converted a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown.

The Cardinals were unable to overcome three interceptions and four turnovers.
