HAYS – TMP quarterback Carson Jacobs threw a season-high five touchdown passes and the Monarchs took advantage of four Lyons Lions turnovers in a 45-12 win Friday at Lewis Field.

The Monarchs took advantage of a pair of Lyons fumbles on their first two offensive drives and scored a pair of touchdowns to go up 16-0.

Jacobs found Jace Wentling for a 23-yard score that put TMP up 8-0 after the two-point conversion with 10:24 to play in the first. Then about two and a half minutes later, following the second Lyons fumble Kaleb Hagans scored from a yard out and after the two-point conversation the Monarchs led 16-0.

Lyons got their only offensive touchdown of the game on their next offensive possession on a 64-yard touchdown run from Ismael Reyes cutting the TMP lead to 16-6.

The Monarchs offense would continue its season-best performance adding three more second quarter touchdowns with Jacobs finding Wentling for a second time from 47 yards out, Jack Johnson from 15 yards out and Alex Schwartz for 32 yards.

The Monarchs lead 39-6 as the first half was coming to an end and attempted a field goal but a low snap forced Jacobs to try and throw for the first down but instead threw and interception to the Lions Trenton Troyer who scored on a 62-yard touchdown return to make the score 39-12 at halftime.

TMP added one more touchdown in the third quarter, this time Jacobs found Bryce Hickman for a 21-yard touchdown giving the Monarchs the 45-12 lead.
