The Effingham Lady Hearts pitched a shutout in the first half, en route to lopsided 49-7 victory over Danville Wednesday.

That gave EHS a 4-1 record and second place finish in the Charleston Holiday Tournament.

Effingham led 14-0 after the opening eight minutes and 30-0 at intermission. Danville scored all five of its points in the third period, but still trailed 44-5.

The Lady Hearts had 11 players score in the contest. Saige Althoff and Bria Beals led the way with eight points each.

Effingham improved to 12-4 on the season. The Lady Hearts will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 7, with an Apollo Conference game at Mt. Zion.
