EDWARDSVILLE - The Alton football Redbirds scored first and held the lead for a time, but eventually, Edwardsville went ahead and gained control of the game. Alton didn’t back down, and kept on fighting throughout the entire game, much to their credit, despite the 37-7 loss to the Tigers. Alton is 0-8 overall on the season but has shown growth and development throughout the season, Coach Cody Markel said. The Redbirds took the opening kickoff and drove 69 yards in five plays, climaxing with Cayden Robinson throwing 48 yards to Grant Ely to give Alton an early 7-0 lead. “That was a tremendous start for our program,” said Alton head coach Cody Markel, “and being able to open up the opening drive with a touchdown, that was huge for us.

We’ve just got to find a way to put all four quarters together with the same mentality and toughness.”
