Bulldogs Pick Up Win, Suffer Loss at T'ville Tourney, Area Girls Roundup

Effingham St. Anthony High School opened its run in the 23rd Annual Taylorville Tornadoes People's Bank and Trust Holiday Girls Basketball Tournament with a 41-25 victory over Mount Zion Friday.

The Bulldogs edged out to an 8-4 opening quarter lead and led 17-6 at halftime. Abby Weis tallied 17 points to lead the way while Meg Richards chipped in with eight. Clare McHugh had six assists. Maryann Saba had three steals. Olivia Clausius led in rebounds with seven.

"Got out to a slow start and got down 4-0 but then we turned up the pressure and got to halftime with a 17-6 lead," said St. Anthony Coach Bart Wiedman.

In the second game, Hillsboro claimed a 42-33 win over the Bulldogs. St. Anthony held a 16-12 opening quarter lead and led 25-23 at halftime. Hillsboro came back with a 19-8 second half run to pull out the victory.

Clausius led in scoring with 11 points and had 13 rebounds. Abbie Schmidt and Weis tallied nine each.

"We really played well for three quarters and then we went through that scoring drought for about six minutes. That was mostly contributed to fatigue. The game was so physical that it took a toll on our focus."

In other games during the weekend, Hillsboro beat Decatur Eisenhower 62-41, Taylorville beat Jacksonville 57-47, Mount Zion beat Jacksonville 54-29 and Taylorville beat Eisenhower 47-32.
