A sweet start for the TMP Monarch turned sour quickly as TMP fell to Ellsworth Friday Night, 50-35. TMP led 7-0 late in the first quarter before the Bearcats answered with 22 straight points. The Monarchs pulled back to within 7 late in the first half but Ellsworth tacked on 14 late points and led 36-15 at halftime.
The second half didn’t start much better as Ellsworth marched down the field and scored making it a 43-15 game. TMP fought back and pulled to within eight points late in the 3rd Quarter but would not find the endzone again. Trevor Miley capped off a career night with his 4th touchdown run of the game with under a minute to play to seal the game.
TMP drops to 1-3 on the season and hits the road next Friday to take on LaCrosse. Ellsworth improves to 3-1 with their 3rd straight win and will face Beloit next Friday.
