Mahomet-Seymour and Effingham hooked up in a shootout Saturday night.

The host Bulldogs made 10 three-pointers and got 31 points from their 6’7” senior standout Grant Coleman to come away with an 89-81 victory over the Hearts in an Apollo Conference contest.

And that came despite a 41-point effort by Effingham’s Parker Wolfe, who poured in 26 points in the fourth quarter alone.

Mahomet-Seymour led at every stop. The Bulldogs led 20-17 after eight minutes, 38-28 at halftime and 65-51 after three quarters.

Wolfe then connected on a trio of 3-pointers, five two-point baskets and went 7-for-8 from the foul line to keep the Hearts within striking distance in the final period. He had 26 of the team’s 30 points in the fourth quarter.

Nate Thompson scored 14 points in the first half and finished with 20, while Jacob Stoneburner added 11.

The Hearts shot 48 percent overall, making 19-of-40 shots. They were 10-for-22 from long range and 13-of-15 from the foul line.

Effingham dipped to 14-9 on the season and 4-4 in the Apollo. The Hearts will play at home both Tuesday against Charleston and Friday against Lincoln. They will then face Paxton-Buckley-Loda at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in the Teutopolis Shootout.

Effingham won the junior varsity game 59-50. Max Woelfer led three players in double figures with 17 points. Jett Volpi scored 14 and Garrett Wolfe added 12.
