MONDAY PREP ROUNDUP: Beals dominates for Effingham against Teutopolis; Teutopolis, Newton girls tennis pick up victories

Sep. 14—TEUTOPOLIS — It was Bria Beals' night.

"Bria stole the show tonight. Front or back row, she was getting kills and that started happening over the weekend," Effingham head coach Laurie Bohnhoff said. "There were a couple of games there and you think, 'Bella's in the back row; I hope we can get some kills here,' and that's not even close to being the case."

The junior hitter finished with 10 kills to go along with two assists, one ace, one block and nine digs in the Flaming Hearts' two-set sweep over county rival Teutopolis at J.H. Griffin Gym.

Effingham won the first set 25-20.

Both teams were neck-and-neck throughout the set before the Hearts took a five-point advantage, 19-14.

The Lady Shoes regrouped, though, rallying off five straight points to push the deficit to one, 19-18.

"I thought that they dug us extremely well," Bohnhoff said. "They did a nice job passing our hard hits, but we did a nice job hitting at them. We didn't let up and we kept hitting at them and we were passing really well, so we could get really nice swings on the ball."

Effingham then responded with a dominating 25-15 second-set victory.

The Hearts never trailed one time during the set, either.

Teutopolis head coach Jim Dietz made sure to give credit where it was due, as well.

"I think this is probably the best Effingham team I've seen in a decade," he said. "I think you have a class coming through there that's really athletic. I think the other thing that's underrated is you got a group of kids that like one another and I think that chemistry shows."

Aside from Beals, Angela Ballman finished with four digs. Sidney Donaldson had three kills, two blocks and four digs. Berkley Pullen had one kill, three assists and seven digs. Hannah Thompson had 12 assists, one ace, one block and six digs. Raegan Boone had one assist and three digs. Reaghan Delong had three kills. Olivia Katt had two kills.
