CENTENARY CHAMPAGNE 78, EFFINGHAM 61
The 39-point fourth quarter was more than the Hearts could handle. Effingham started the final period with a 42-39 lead before Centennial doubled their point total. It’s all the more frustrating given that the Hearts’ 61 points are one of their highest point totals of the season.
