JERSEY - The Jersey County Sheriff's Office is investigating a hit-and-run crash Wednesday afternoon. In the accident, there was property damage to several mailboxes, yards, and a fence along South Centennial Road in Jersey. Jersey County Sheriff Nick Manns said this is "a suspected DUI case."

Atkins is a Stillwater Senior Living Male Athlete of the Month for Granite City. Atkins' record was very impressive during that run as well, going 96-17-11 in his five years as a top goalie for Granite, recording 45 shutouts while playing on junior varsity championship teams in eighth grade and as a sophomore to go along with three varsity titles in his freshman, junior and senior years. Atkins also played in the league's Rising Stars game, a JV All-Star game, getting a shutout
