Pratt Struggles to Get Things Going Against Butler

Pratt, Kan. - The Beavers of Pratt Community College hosted the Grizzlies of Butler Community College this afternoon, November 26. Pratt was coming off the brutal 120-118 thrilling loss against Hutchinson on November 22nd while Butler was coming into the match off of their first conference victory against Northwest Tech. 

The Grizzlies jumped to an early 7-0 lead to start the game and Pratt was never quite able to reset from that. Through the nine-minute mark of the half, Butler held onto a ten-point lead and took a 37-24 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Beavers were able to pull within five points with 13:41 left to go in the game. That was the closest the Beavers would pull within as the Grizzlies cruised to a 75-57 victory. 

Quintin Metcalf remained the Beavers leading scorer for the second straight game with 17 points and nine rebounds. The only other Beaver in double digits was Qai Kellman with 12. Pratt did manage to outrebound the Grizzlies 28 to 26. 

Pratt will take the next week to reset and prepare to host Cloud County next Saturday, December 3 at 4:00 pm in the Beaver Dome.
