The Effingham Flaming Hearts finally notched that elusive 10th win Tuesday night and it came in a big way.
The Hearts raced to a 25-2 lead after eight minutes and finished with a 56-point win, 80-24, at Central A&M in Moweaqua.
Garrett Wolfe scored nine points and both Jett Volpi and Brayden Pals added eight, helping EHS break out to the commanding lead.
And it only got worse from there. Andrew Donaldson came off the bench to knock down three from behind the arc in the second quarter and Volpi scored six more, as the Hearts built a 48-11 cushion by intermission.
Pals, Wolfe and Volpi combined to score 54 points in the contest. Pals finished with 19 points, while Wolfe scored 18 and Volpi added 17.
The Hearts, who improved to 10-19 on the season, will play their regular season finale Thursday night at home against Mt. Zion.
