TMP girls 68, Pratt 34
A 15-0 TMP run midway through the first quarter broke open a tight game Friday night at PHS, and the Lady Monarchs ran off with a 68-34 victory.
The teams were tied at 5 before TMP dialed up its full-court press, which quickly created a handful of Pratt turnovers and several easy baskets for the Lady Monarchs.
TMP’s Kaylee Hoffman and Rachel Jacobs were the main beneficiaries, as the two combined for 11 steals and 30 points on the night.
Pratt, which was led by Ashton Neumann’s 13 points, committed 20 turnovers and hit just nine of 41 shots while being outrebounded 31-15.
Pratt’s teams will travel to Kingman tomorrow night for a pair of non-league games with the varsity girls game tipping off at 6:15 p.m. and boys action following at 8 p.m.
Kingman’s girls are 2-12 on the season, and one of those wins was a 47-45 win over Pratt (6-10) in December.
