Robinson jumped out to a quick double-digit lead and maintained that throughout the game, en route to a 57-40 win at home Saturday over Effingham.

The Maroons led by 15 points in the opening period and owned an 18-5 advantage at the end of the first eight minutes. It was 29-15 at halftime and 39-28 heading into the fourth period.

“We got down 15 quick, then we played steady the rest of the game,” said EHS coach Obie Farmer. “I thought we played decent for three quarters, but we still struggle to score.”

Robinson’s Noah Gilbert led all scorers with 18 points, while Owen Schmidt added 14. Hayden Wendling led EHS with nine points.

The Hearts are now 2-16 on the season. They will travel to Newton on Tuesday.
