The Wooden Shoes were ranked No. 4 in the 2A poll.<\/p>\n<p>The Hearts led 9-4 after four possessions on threes from Tessa Raddatz, Averie Wolfe and a traditional three-point play from Alyssa Martin.<\/p>\n<p>But T-town proceeded to go on a 19-0 run that went from 5:43 remaining in the first quarter until 3:57 left before halftime. Kelsey Niemerg scored seven points in the opening quarter while Allie Ruholl tallied three baskets, also in the opening quarter for six. Anna Probst hit a three and Sophia Martin scored five in the second period.<\/p>\n<p>Alyssa Martin&#8217;s one for two trip to the line at 3:57 was the beginning of Effingham&#8217;s own 11-0 run. T-town scored just one more bucket in the quarter as Jersey Gaddis hit a layup in the final minute and the Shoes led 25-20 at halftime.<\/p>\n<p>Then in the third quarter, Effingham came back as A. Martin connected on two baskets and Wolfe hit a three and two free throws for an 11-9 run but T-town still held a 34-31 lead going into the final period as S. Martin scored on a three and Niemerg and A. Ruholl were two-of-two at the line.<\/p>\n<p>Effingham then had an 8-5 final quarter run as A. Martin scored five points and McKenzie Love three and the Hearts knotted the score at 39-39, sending the contest into overtime.<\/p>\n<p>In the overtime period, Raddatz, who hadn&#8217;t scored in the second half, put in four free throws while Wolfe hit two free throws, Martin a basket and Weis a fre throw as the Hearts had a 10-3 run to claim the 49-43 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Martin finished with 17 points on six field goals and five free throws while Wolfe added 12 and Raddatz 10.<\/p>\n<p>T-town was led by Niemerg with four field goals, one a three-pointer, and two free throws for 11 while A. Ruholl hit three field goals and five of six at the line, also for 11. Malea Helmink pulled down a whopping 20 rebounds. Kelsey Niemerg had two steals.<\/p>\n<p>The Shoes are in the middle of a three-game losing streak but competed in the always tough Highland Tournament last week.<\/p>\n<p>It was a matchup of 500-win coaches as Jeff Schafer is now at 511-145 (.779) while Laurie Thompson is at 544-274 (.718).<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Effingham<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overtime<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TEUTOPOLIS (43)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>J.
