The 65th annual Tonganoxie Invitational started Monday.

On the boys side, quarterfinal games Monday were No. 1 Atchison 89, No. 8 Christ Prep 49; No. No. 7 Metro Academy 62, No. 2 Eudora 58; No. 3 Bonner Springs 63, No. 6 Tonganoxie 56; and No. 4 No. 5 Wamego 39, Schlagle 26.

Tonganoxie lost to defending tourney champion Bonner Springs, 63-56. THS had a chance to either cut the Bonner lead to 59-58 with a layup or tie with a kickout three-pointer, but BSHS thwarted the THS possession and held on for the victory.

THS led, 29-28, at halftime against Bonner, but a rough third quarter had Tonganoxie playing catch-up. Bonner outscored Tonganoxie, 19-6, in the quarter. The Chieftains put together a furious rally in the fourth quarter with 21 points, but just couldn’t quite get over that hump in the final minute.

Tonganoxie had some struggles from the free-throw line, as the team finished the game 5-for-13. BSHS also missed eight free throws, but went 12-for-20.

THS shot 40% from the field, including 7-for-20 from beyond the three-point line, but Bonner finished 51.2% from the field (22-for-43), including 7-for-16 from three-point land.

Both team shad 31 second-chance points and outrebounded BSHS, 33-28.

Tonganoxie had four players score in double figures: Alex Crowley with 14, Zekkiah Glover with 11 and Lachlan McRae and Owen Schmidt with 10 each.

Bonner Springs’ JAckson Nez had a game-high 15, while Jason Jones scored 14 and Kalen Streit 13.
