Effingham went up against Chicago Leo and fell by a 53-29 count Tuesday evening at the St. Anthony Turkey Tournament in boys basketball action.<\/p>\n

The two teams played to an 11-11 opening quarter tie. Jenner Pals knocked in a three-pointer for the Hearts while Nolan Fearday and Jude Traub hit two free throws each.<\/p>\n

But Chicago Leo’s Brian Kizer found the range in the second quarter, hitting three from beyond the arc and a regular basket for 11 of his team’s 14 points. The other basket was a three by Jeremiah Echous and Leo moved into a 25-17 halftime lead.<\/p>\n

Chicago Leo continued on in the third quarter as Andre Tucker took over the three-point scoring with two while Kizer added on four more points and Karon Shavers hit four points.<\/p>\n

The Hearts had only two baskets, by Pals and Max Buzzard in the third period and hit four free throws. EHS trailed 42-25.<\/p>\n

Kizer led Chicago Leo with 20 points on seven field goals, four of those three-pointers and two of two at the line. He also pulled down eight rebounds. Asa Harris had five assists.<\/p>\n

Leo hit 40.9 percent from the field and 50 percent at the line. They were 43.4 percent from three-point range, hitting 10 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

The Hearts could muster only 26.5 percent from the field but were 71.4 percent at the line with 10 of 14. EHS also outrebounded Leo by a 28-26 count with Cole Phillips and Jude Traub pulling down four each. But the Hearts finished with 19 turnovers while Leo had only nine.<\/p>\n

In the second contest, Rantoul downed Normandy by a 64-35 tally while Breese Central edged Mattoon 48-43 in the final game of the evening.<\/p>\n

The tournament continues tonight as Effingham returns to action in the 5 p.m. contest against Edwardsville. Rantoul meets Mattoon at 6:30 and Effingham St. Anthony takes on Chicago Leo at 8.<\/p>\n

The tourney will finish out Friday with four games featuring Edwardsville against Chicago Leo at 3 p.m., Breese Central against Rantoul at 4:30, Mattoon facing Normandy at 6 and St. Anthony and Effingham meeting at 7:30.<\/p>\n
