TMP season ends in Park City
By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post
Wichita-Trinity 63, TMP 57
A tough fourth quarter stretch proved costly for the TMP Monarchs in their 63-57 loss to Wichita-Trinity Academy in the opening round of the 4A-Division II State Basketball Tournament in Park City. Trailing 47-43 at the start of the fourth quarter the Monarch offense went cold. They went five minutes and 21 seconds without scoring as they watched Trinity build their lead to double figures and TMP could not recover. Max Megaffin hit a late three to pinch the lead to four points but it was to little to late for TMP’s season.
The second half was as stark contrast to the first half. Both teams held leads and made runs to counter each other. TMP held a 10-5 advantage early and the Knights countered with an 11-nothing run to go up by six. TMP was able to close it to two points at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was much of the same. TMP trailed and fought back but trailed by two, 33-31 at the break.
Kameron Schmidt scored a team high 16 points, 14 of those came in the first half. Jared Vitztum was the only other Monarch in double figures with 14. TMP ends their season with a 16-7 record.

TMP Boys advance to State
By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post
TMP 69, Concordia 59
An early second quarter defensive change sparked the TMP Monarchs to their first appearance in the state tournament since 2007. TMP trailed 21-13 in the early moments of the second quarter when Monarch Head Coach Joe Hertel called off the full court pressure and settled into half-court man to man defense. TMP quickly went on a 12-4 run to tie the game at 25. The two teams would trade buckets on a couple of possessions that saw the game knotted up at 29 points apiece
During that run Concordia found themselves in foul trouble as leading scorer Cooper Holmes picked up his third foul and had to sit the rest of the quarter. The Panthers would get a three pointer to take a 32-29 lead. That is when TMP took over the game. The Monarchs finished the second quarter on a 9-0 run to take a 38-32 lead that they would never relinquish.
The third quarter saw Holmes pick up his fourth foul within the first two minutes and he had to sit again. TMP would again build their lead. The Monarchs led by as many as 13 points in the third quarter. Concordia was able to convert a close two point basket and hit a buzzer beating three to close the gap to eight points heading to the fourth quarter.
Concordia hit a three right out of the gates in the fourth quarter and you could see the sweat beads building up around the Colby Community Building. That’s when Monarch point guard Peyton Hoffman put the team on his back out of a timeout. Hoffman was able to convert an offensive rebound into two points with a putback. After a Panther turnover he was able to penetrate the lane and float one in to build the lead back to nine. Concordia ran out of gas and hope at that point and the Monarchs were able to pick up the 69-59 win.
Kameron Schmidt had another stellar night for TMP with 19 points. Hoffman added 14 and Max Megaffin chipped in with 12. TMP is now 16-6 on the season and will play on Wednesday at Hartman Arena in Park City.

Hays Falls to #1 McPherson
By Dustin Armbruster
#1 McPherson 57 – Hays 46
The Hays High Indians took on number one and undefeated McPherson on Saturday night for the sub-state championship. The game was held at Hays High, the Indians though being the two seed were the visitors for the game. Hays both wore the black road jerseys and sat on the bench opposite of a normal night.
The Indians took early leads of 3-0 and 6-3 on three pointers by Isaiah Nunnery and Keith Dryden. McPherson then went on a 9-0 run to go up 12-6. Hays trailed 14-10 after one quarter following an Isaiah Nunnery contested lay up.
The Indians had a chance to take the lead back down 15-13 but had a three pointer rattle half way down and out. McPherson used that rebound to start a 8-0 run to go up by ten. Hays hit two more three pointers to cut leads of 10 down to 7, but never got any closer in the second half. The Indians trailed 32-19 at half time. The Indians already had their game average of 13 turnovers by halftime.
Highlights
Hays never cut the McPherson lead below 11 in the second half. Hays trailed 45-33 after three quarters. McPherson went to a very deliberate offense in the fourth quarter limiting the Indians chances to score. Hays trailed by 11 with 3:50 to go in the game, but never got any closer, falling 57-46.
Coach Rick Keltner
The Indians end their year at 14-8. McPherson is 22-0 and has won 37 consecutive games. The Bullpups will be no worse than the #2 seed at state. Isaiah Nunnery led the Indians with 19. Brady Werth scored 10. Werth graduates as the Indians all time leading scorer with 1139 points, rebounder at 604, and collected 233 blocks.

Colby 63, TMP 53
The TMP Lady Monarchs saw their season come to an abrupt end on Friday night with a 63-53 loss to the Colby Lady Eagles in the semi-finals of 4A-Division 2 Sub-State play. Colby took control of the game early and never let go. The Lady Eagles opened the game with the first eight points before TMP was able to convert an old fashioned three point play by Melissa Pfeifer. Colby led 17-5 after the first quarter and continued to build the lead going up 32-14 at halftime.
TMP was able to knock down some third quarter three pointers but Colby had an answer each time TMP made a run. The Lady Monarchs were able to cut the lead to nine a couple of times in the fourth quarter but could never get below that. Pfeifer led TMP with 18 points and Megan Koenigsman added 18. Shaila Giebler led Colby with 22. TMP finishes their season at 17-4.
