ALTON - The annual Madison County Project Homeless Connect event had a successful turnout for 2023 at The River of Life Family Church in Alton. Several organizations gathered under one roof to provide resources and networking opportunities to locals in need. David Kerr, homeless services director for Madison County, said they were able to provide a wide range of goods and services from a variety of organizations, making the event a “one-stop-shop.” “What we’re trying to do is get those who are experiencing homelessness connected to the various services that are offered throughout the county,” Kerr said. “There’s been medical checkups, vaccines, flu shots, we’ve just got a lot of things going on - a lot of different organizations, a lot of different government entities represented. “One of the struggles is that people just don’t know what’s available. We’ve got food pantries here, we’ve got government

EDWARDSVILLE - Blakely Hockett, a sophomore guard for the Edwardsville girls' basketball team, has helped the Tigers with solid defensive play and also encourages her teammates constantly. And in the Tigers' 42-34 win over Civic Memorial on Jan. 28, Hockett made vital contributions to the come-from-behind win as Edwardsville came back from an 11-0 Eagles run to start the game with a first-quarter run of their own to get back into the game, eventually finishing by scoring 16 unanswered points after CM scored the first basket of the final quarter to take the win.
