TMP trailed by two at halftime and held a slim, 34-33, lead heading into the fourth quarter. That’s when both offenses struggled. The game was tied at 38 points apiece heading into overtime.

In the extra period the Monarch offense woke up scoring 16 points to secure the win. Several key plays down the stretch including a corner 3-pointer from Max Megaffin that stretched a one-point lead to four in the overtime.
