EDWARDSVILLE - At 3:14 a.m. Monday, the Edwardsville Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a basement fire in a residence on Gerber Woods Drive in Edwardsville. When fire crews arrived, they found a home evacuated by its residents and family dog. "The fire appeared to start on, or near, a battery-powered motorcycle stored in the basement," Edwardsville Fire Chief James Whiteford said. "Occupants reported they heard and felt an explosion followed by smoke detectors sounding, which woke them up and allowed them to escape.

EDWARDSVILLE - Senior wide receiver Joey DeMare has made quite a few clutch receptions in his stint with the Edwardsville High varsity football team, and Aug. 25 was no exception, as he hauled in Jake Curry's five-yard pass with 33.5 seconds left that proved to be the winner as the Tigers won over Jackson, Mo. 30-21 in the season opener at Tiger Stadium. Edwardsville sealed the win on the first play after the kickoff when a bad snap from center went into the end zone, where the Indians recovered the ball for a safety and the two points that clinched the game. It was DeMare's catch in the end zone in the final minute that put Edwardsville ahead and after the game, DeMare was very full of emotion. "A lot of emotions, honestly," DeMare said in his postgame interview. "Like, it feels just like last year, even better, because we did it twice. But man, it was like a great team win and I don't think I could describe it right now. I've got to sleep this off, but and describe it tomorrow," h
