Plainville 24, TMP 6

PLAINVILLE, Kan.-Plainville scored 17 first quarter points on Friday night and didn’t look back. The Cardinals opened the scoring with a 25 yard Tanner Copeland field goal to take a 3-0 lead. TMP would get the ball back but a first play fumble set Plainville up on the TMP 34 yard line and it didn’t take the Cardinals long to answer. Jordan Finnesy found Chase Cellmer for another Cardinal score to give them a 10-0. Plainville capped the first quarter scoring on a 1 yard plunge from Hayden Gillum.

The second quarter was more of a defensive effort from both sides as both teams put zeros up on the scoreboard. TMP was only able to muster three first half first downs and only 78 yards of total offense. Plainville racked up 199 yards in the first half.

TMP recovered an onside kick to start the second half and drove into Plainville territory but could not punch the ball into the end zone. Plainville would answer with six play 67 yard drive and a second touchdown from Gillum gave Plainville a 24-0 lead after three quarters. TMP would get on the board midway through the fourth quarter on a 9 yard touchdown pass from David McFarland to Tate Garcia. The Monarchs would not threaten again and they fall to 1-3 on the season and will host Cimarron next week. Plainville improves to 1-3 and will host Republic County next Friday.
