EDWARDSVILLE - A new local business is creating well-rounded, holistic, healthy meals for dogs. Pup Kitchen, based out of Edwardsville, is a family business that focuses on all members of the family, including the four-legged ones. The company sells homemade, AAFCO-certified nutritious dog food. Owner Marc Fussell noted that his dogs’ health has improved since he started feeding them Pup Kitchen meals, and he hopes to help other dogs get the same benefits. “With humans, you hear many times, 'Let food be thy medicine.' And I think even with dogs, if you feed them a healthy diet, a well-balanced diet, that’s going to be what they need to have longevity,” Fussell said. About 20 years ago, Fussell became interested in nutrition and began cooking healthy, whole-food meals for his family. He soon realized how much better he felt, and he started to wonder if better food could have the same effect on his pets. At first, Fussell and his wife Christie bought
EDWARDSVILLE - Steven Moore, Jr. was one of the key offensive players for the Edwardsville football team that finished the season at 6-4, combining with fellow senior Gavin Yates to form a lethal one-two backfield punch that was very hard to stop on many nights.

For the season, Moore ran for 711 yards and eight touchdowns, also catching 18 passes for 130 yards and two more touchdowns. Moore also had 16 receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns.

GRANITE CITY - Senior offensive lineman Matt Fetrow had one of the most important jobs on the football gridiron this past football season for the Granite City Warriors – he was starting center on the offensive line, and a play couldn't start without him. Besides being the center, Fetrow served as the engine that kickstarts the Warrior offense. Fetrow enjoyed the 2024 season under Warriors' head football coach Steve Roustio. "We've had more positivity and worked hard, I feel, from this year to last year," Fetrow said. Fetrow also feels that this past season will give the Warriors a chance to turn the Warriors' program around with several young players coming back for next year. "We're headed in the right direction for the future," the lineman said. Fetrow was also excited to have Steve Roustio as his new head coach, and he enthusiastically endorsed Roustio. "I think he's great," Fetrow said. "He's brought in some charity, and he's been better than the last few coaches.
