BELLEVILLE -- Effingham High School competed in the Belleville East Boys Tennis Invitational Saturday.

"Even though we didn't place well in the tourney on Friday, everyone had at least one win," said EHS Coach Woods. "Our Minor/Hills combo won out the back draw after dropping a very close first round match. The match went to a third set super tie break with a score of 14-12.

"We are looking forward to some better weather and finally our first home match this season."

The Hearts will host Robinson today in a 4:30 p.m. match.
