Boys:  TMP 77, Oakley 40

Joe Hertel’s TMP Monarchs wanted to come out and show some strength and toughness tonight and did just that in a 77-40 win over Oakley at Al Billinger Fieldhouse.  It was the first game at “The Pit” since February 15, 2013 and the Monarchs piled on a 10-nothing first quarter run to take the lead for good at 19 to nine.  Oakley was able to close the gap to 19-11 but that was the last time the Plainsmen were within single digits.

Kameron Schmidt led three Monarchs in double figures with 22 points.  10 players were able to score for the Monarchs who have a break until January 9th in Ellis.
