Phillipsburg 35, TMP 0

The second ranked team in Class 2A, Phillipsburg, got more than they bargained for from a pesky TMP Monarch team on Friday night.  The Panthers used two short fields in the first half, following errant punt snaps from TMP, and turned both of those short fields into touchdowns.

The first of those scores a one yard run by Phillipsburg senior Brock Means which made it 7-0 with 1:28 to go in the first quarter.  TMP would get the ball back and go three and out.  Phillipsburg would take advantage of another short field, scoring on a 15 yard touchdown run from Kirk Coomes on the first play of the second quarter that made it 14-0.

That score would hold all the way to the first play of the fourth quarter when Coomes scored his second touchdown of the game on an 11 yard scamper that made it 21-0.  The Panthers would score two more times which pushed the final score to 35-0

TMP had only four yards of total offense while Phillipsburg tallied 345 total yards.  The Monarchs play their second road game of the season on Friday in Ellis.  Phillipsburg will host Norton in a Mid-Continent League Power tilt.
