Boys:  TMP 75, Colby 50

TMP used a 27-11 first quarter to put their Saturday afternoon game with Colby away early at the Hays City Shootout.  Colby was able to close the gap to 14 at the half but would never get any closer.  Senior Kameron Schmidt poured in 27 points, 10 of those coming in the first four minutes of the game.  TMP finished seventh in the tournament with the win.

TMP is now one and two on the season and will travel to Hill City next Friday night to take on the Ringnecks.

Girls:  TMP 53, Hays High 27

Bench points were the key for the TMP Lady Monarchs as they defeated Hays High 53-27 on Saturday afternoon at Hays Middle School.  Freshman Kayla Vitztum came off the bench to score a career high 14.  Sophomore Katelyn Zimmerman chipped in 11 off the bench as well.  TMP took a 23-13 lead going into halftime and were never challenged after that en route to a fourth place finish in the Hays City Shootout.  The victory improves TMP’s early season record to two and one as Hays High drops to one and two.

The Lady Monarchs will be on the road next Friday in Hill City.  Hays High will host Pratt on Tuesday.
