The football team at Bethel College entered last Saturday’s final game of the season with a 2-7 record, a coach who was resigning after 13 years with the team, and steep odds against beating rival Sterling College (6-3 at the time).
Late in the third quarter, with Bethel holding a surprising 20-0 lead, the quarterback pitched this amazing over-the-shoulder toss into the end zone. Bethel ultimately beat Sterling 30-0, and gave Mike Moore a story to tell about his final game coaching the Threshers in Newton, Kan.
