Tonganoxie ? With Tonganoxie High’s senior point guard, Jeremy Carlisle, leading the way, THS dissected Jefferson North’s defense time and again in the first round of sub-state and wrecked the Tigers, 79-52, on Monday.

Carlisle had 11 first-half points but finished with a game-high 33 in the final home game of his career, thanks in large part to a 13-point third quarter, when he didn’t miss a shot.

THS (10-11) only led by eight at halftime before Carlisle scored five of his team’s first seven field goals in the third quarter (junior forward Dylan Jacobs scored the other two), and the margin doubled.

The first-round sub-state win advanced THS to a 6 p.m. Thursday semifinal at Piper, in Kansas City, Kan., where No. 4 seed Tonganoxie will face No. 1 Sumner Academy (18-3).
