ALTON - Alton High School senior baseball captain and catcher Jayden Diaz has enjoyed a good season for the Redbirds as the calendar is about to turn into May and into the stretch run for the regular season into the IHSA playoffs. Although he went a combined zero-for-three in his team's Southwestern Conference losses to Edwardsville 16-6 on Apr. 25 and 13-1 on Apr. 26 that put Alton's record at 7-13, Diaz has enjoyed a good season to date. Diaz has hit .341 in games through Apr. 26, with three home runs and 13 RBIs, with an on-base percentage of .547 and five stolen bases. He had provided leadership and guidance to the other players on the team and is a team captain who leads by example. For all of his efforts both on and off the field, Diaz has been named an Auto Butler Athlete of the Month for the Redbirds. Diaz, who plays for head coach Scott Harper, felt good after the Redbirds' loss Apr. 25 and also is trying to keep the team's spirits up, staying positive and upbeat.

Gianforte has […]
From The Wall Street Journal: In “The Wealth of Nations,” the founding text of free-market economics, Adam Smith took it for granted that workers should be paid enough to cover the living costs of themselves and their dependents. “A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to […]

This Friday will be Cinco de Mayo, a celebration commemorating the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire in 1862. Here in Missour-ah it’s mostly an excuse to eat tacos and drink Corona, so we’ve made a guide to where to find the best street tacos (corn tortillas are key), listen to Ranchera and Banda music, and get those drink specials.
BETHALTO - Civic Memorial junior runner Justice Eldridge is the definition of a versatile track star. He's geared more toward the distance side, with the one mile and 800m recently being his races, but can also run the 400m, and two mile. In his last outing on Friday, April 28 at the Triad Knight Invitational, in a field of 32 runners, he took first place in the one mile with a time of 4:29.71. For his running efforts, Justice is a Tom Lane State Farm Insurance Athlete of the Month for Civic Memorial. He also ran the 4x800m relay where he was his team's anchor (final runner) as the Eagles took third place with a time of 8:03.38. That time broke their previous school record and became the leading time in IHSA Class 2A. "It's a six-second school record. We're really excited with where we're at with about three weeks left," CM track head coach Jake Peal said Saturday afternoon. In his other distance event, the two mile, he recently took second place at the Winston Brown invitational

Off and Running Saturday, May 6, is the running of the Kentucky Derby. I’m not much of a race fan. I’d rather ride a horse myself than watch someone else. You might say, I’m a trail rider, not a track watcher. Even so, I did go to the Derby once upon a time as a...
