TMP Vs Plainville writting
On a rainy Friday night, the Thomas More Prep-Marian Monarchs hosted the Plainville Cardinals on TMP’s senior night. TMP used their running game to ground and pound their way to a 27-12 victory
TMP senior quarterback Carson Liles led the way for the Monarchs, with a good game on the ground and through the air. Even with the slick conditions, both teams were able to adapt to the weather.
Plainville threatened to cut the TMP lead multiple times throughout the night, but the Monarchs' defense was able to keep them out of the endzone aside from Plainville scores in the first and fourth quarters.
With this being the last game of the regular season, the playoffs start this week. TMP Head Coach Grant Stephenson looked ahead to their postseason expectations.
“If we stay focused, get healthy and stay healthy, we will make a decent run,” he said.
TMP will host Blue Rapids-Valley Heights in the Week 9 round of the playoffs.

On a chilly Sunday evening, a large crowd gathered in St. Joseph’s Catholic Church for the 39th annual FHSU Choir Christmas Concert. The concert took place at a new venue this year, as previous concerts were at St. Fidelis in Victoria.
The concert featured a diverse range of Christmas music, from hymns sung by the entire assembly accompanied by the pipe organ in St. Joseph’s, to smaller groups such as the Brass Choir, the Smoky Hill Chorale, the Fort Hays Singers, and the Concert Choir, as well as solo pieces.
There was a mix of many different cultures expressed during the concert with the different hymns that were played, some examples were Silent Night performed in English and German, a Polish carol, a Czech Carol, and even a Spanish Carol. Plus some performances on some songs that you wouldn’t typically hear around Christmas time.
Then, to end the night, all three choirs joined together in one accord and performed a version of “What Child Is This”.
“It’s beautiful here and it has great sound,” FHSU Chorale Director Terry Crull said.
FHSU Bands Director Peter Lillpopp agreed that the acoustics played a big part in making the concert sound great.
