GIRLS:  Ellinwood 74       TMP  64

Heather Ruder poured in a career high 30 points but it wasn’t enough as the TMP Lady Monarchs fell to 0-5 on the season.  A Ruder 3 to start the 4th Quarter put TMP up 59-58 but it would be the last time the Lady Monarchs would be in front.  They will travel to Victoria on Tuesday.

BOYS:   Ellinwood 61   TMP  54

TMP fell down by 12 midway through the 2nd Quarter Friday night and it looked like a blowout was on hand.  The Monarchs scratched back to within 6 at halftime and led 43-41 going into the 4th Quarter.  That would be the end of the celebration for TMP as the Eagles had to much down the stretch to get the win.  TMP is now 1-4 and will play at Victoria on Tuesday.
