It was the battle of the city teams at Effingham and Effingham St. Anthony squared off Friday evening in the 2025 St. Anthony Boys Basketball Turkey Tournament.<\/p>\n

Effingham came out a 50-47 winner.<\/p>\n

The two teams played to a 6-6 opening quarter tie before the Bulldogs edged ahead 19-18 at halftime. Aiden Lauritzen put in five points while Conner Storm hit a three-pointer for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

But the Hearts came back after halftime and put together a 15-9 run to lead 33-28 going into the final quarter. Jenner Pals knocked in two three-pointers and Cannon Bockhorn put in a three-pointer and two free throws while Jake Nlebrugge added a basket and two free throws.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs had a slight 19-17 final quarter run but couldn’t make up that five-point third quarter deficit. Miles Waldhoff hit two three-pointers and two free throws for eight in the quarter while Keenan Griffith had six points.<\/p>\n

But the Hearts held on. Cole Phillips hit two baskets and two free throws for six points while Pals had his third three-pointer and was two of two at the line. Bockhorn and Jake Niebrugge was two of two at the line.<\/p>\n

Pals finished with 12 points to lead EHS with three three-pointers and three of six at the line. Niebrugge and Bockhorn chipped in with nine each.<\/p>\n

St. Anthony was led by Lauritzen and Griffith with 11 each and Waldhoff added 10.<\/p>\n

In other games Friday, Chicago Leo defeated Edwardsville 53-42, Rantoul won over Breese Central 53-41 and Mattoon pounded Normandy 72-25.<\/p>\n

The Saturday games were canceled due to the weather.<\/p>\n
