HILLSBORO, Kan. – Tabor College has a long history of athletic tradition, and fans will get a sneak-peek of some of this history every Friday in the form of Flashback Friday.
 
This week, the spotlight shines on Bluejay Football.
 
Since 1968, Tabor College and Bethel College have met on the gridiron 58 times in the second-biggest rivalry game in the KCAC. Two seasons ago in 2024, the two teams met in North Newton for Bethel's homecoming in a highly anticipated matchup.
 
The Bluejays traded touchdowns with Bethel throughout the game after Tabor jumped on first, thanks to Moises Haynes coming off a check-down route from Willie Green 10 yards to the house three minutes into the game. As great as the entire game was, the two greatest plays of the entire contest took place within the waning seconds. Bethel held a 33-28 lead with around 30 seconds remaining as Green aired it out and connected on a beautiful 26-yard pass to Glenn Maiden, Jr. to put Tabor back on top, 34-33. The Threshers had a slim opportunity to go ahead with just seconds remaining, but a perfectly timed interception sent Bluejay Nation into a frenzy, giving the Bluejays their second straight victory over Bethel, 34-33.
