Girls: Larned 44, TMP 40, OT
For the second straight game the TMP Lady Monarchs went to overtime but the result was not as pretty losing 44-40 to Larned on Tuesday. TMP trailed the entire game until they took the lead at 38-37 late in the fourth quarter. The Lady Monarchs would extend that lead to three points with just under 30 seconds remaining. Larned’s Shaylene Shepherd banked in a three pointer to tie the game with 10 seconds remaining in regulation. TMP was not able to get a shot off late and the game moved to overtime tied at 10.

In the extra period there was very little offense as Larned scored one bucket as well as two free throws. TMP was held scoreless. The Lady Monarchs are now two and five overall, oh and two in Mid Central Activities Association play. TMP will be on the road at Abilene on January 14th.

The Larned Indians started Tuesday’s league tilt with TMP on a 10 to two run and never looked back.  The Indians led by 10 after the first quarter and 13 at the half.  The Monarchs were able to get the game to single digits late in the third quarter but Larned responded and took a commanding 22 point lead throughout much of the fourth quarter.

TMP is now three and four overall and one and one in the Mid Central Activities Association.  They will travel to Abilene next Tuesday.
