The High School team finished first in their division with 15 points, ahead of Valley Center, with 14 1/2 points, and Ellinwood with 9 points. Individually, all five members of the team had at least even scores, the lower boards providing the margin of victory. Sophomores Cade Schlautman finished 4th with 4 1/2 points, Ethan Gibson was 5th with 4 points, Colby Schmeidler was 8th with 3 1/2 points, Zack Billinger was 10th with 3 points, and Dylan Billinger was 13th with 3 points. All the members of the team played the top four from Valley Center in the final round, scoring two wins and a draw against one loss to pull ahead by 1/2 point. An irregularity in the tabulation of points resulted in an attempt to award TMP second place team based on 5th round scores, but an alert coach protested, and the scores were re-calculated.
The Junior High team finished second in their division with 16 1/2 points, behind the Classical School of Wichita's 18 points, but ahead of Brooks Middle School with 14. 8th Graders Braden Unrein finished 3rd with 5 points, Alex Unrein was 5th with 4 1/2 points, Joshua Marintzer was 12th with 4 points, and Garret Billinger was 21st with 3 points.
Next Saturday, February 14, the team will travel to Concordia, KS to play in their invitational. Then, on February 28, TMP will host its own tournament, rescheduled from January 24's snowstorm. On March 7, TMP will travel to Wichita again for a tournament at St. Francis of Assisi, and on March 14, the season ends with the State Championship at Emporia State.
