Effingham High School played host to Mount Zion in Apollo Conference girls basketball action Saturday and picked up a 45-29 victory.
The Hearts sailed out to a 16-5 opening quarter lead but the Braves came back in the second period to pull within 23-17 at halftime. EHS then had a 10-5 third period and a 12-7 final quarter.
"We finished off a rough patch of games playing 10 times in 13 days," said EHS Coach Jeff Schafer. "So I felt good with the way we finished. Shane has done a good job with his team since we played last. We had good balance again as everyone did their jobs."
Carsyn Fearday scored 11 points and had three trifectas while Miranda Fox added 10 and had five rebounds. Fox hit one field goal and was eight of 10 at the line. Skyler Schafer and Shelby Myers had four rebounds each. Natalie Carie finished with three assists. Aly Armstrong had five boards.
The Hearts improve to 23-2 on the season and will host Mattoon Thursday in another Apollo Conference contest.
