EDWARDSVILLE - Marley Fox, a versatile softball player for Edwardsville High School, is enjoying a good season, both in the field and inside the circle, and is the kind of player who can help the Tigers go a long way in the upcoming postseason. For the season, she's hit near .400 and also been impressive on the mound. In a recent postgame interview that followed the win over Collinsville, Fox felt that she threw well and credited (Kylie) Lintker for helping to set the table for her. "I'm really excited with how things are looking," Fox said. "We've been seeing a lot of slower pitching, so seeing that Calhoun girl (Audrey Gilman) really helped us out with getting our timing back." Fox is a Spencer Homes Female Athlete of the Month for the Tigers. The goals and aspirations for the remainder of the campaign for both Fox and the Tigers are pretty much one and the same. "I think that we can really just improve as a team all together," Fox said, "with our team chemistry. We all get

EDWARDSVILLE - Joe Chiarodo is one of the best players on the Edwardsville High baseball team, perhaps in the Southwestern Conference and the state of Illinois, and in two separate games this past week, he showed why. In the final game of the 17th Tiger Classic on May 10 against Teutopolis, Chiarodo had a hit and RBI in a 5-4 loss to the Wooden Shoes, but two days later, in a key conference game against Belleville East at home, he retired the first 16 batters he faced, finishing up with a two-hit shutout in winning over the Lancers 7-0. Joe is a Spencer Homes Male Athlete of the Month for Edwardsville. For the season, he's hitting .519 with six homers and 39 RBIs, among the team leaders in all three categories, and on the mound, Chiarodo had used a variety of pitches to forge a 4-2 record, starting eight games, and has allowed 16 runs, 13 earned, on 26 hits for an ERA of 2.79. He's also walked six and struck out 36 batters in helping the Tigers to a 19-8 record with seven game
