Carter Kalber snagged the only EHS pass reception of the evening, an eight-yarder.<\/p>\n<p>During halftime, homecoming royalty was announced. Rece Kinney and Maci Hayes are your 2026 EHS homecoming king and queen.<\/p>\n<p>Effingham\u2019s final road game of the regular season is up next as the Hearts travel to Mt.
