ALTON - The Marquette Catholic High School spirit is running high as homecoming weekend approaches. Beth DeCourcey, a Marquette academic dean, was the coordinator of a pep rally at 1:30 p.m. Friday at Marquette Catholic’s gym. Charlie Fahnestock, Captain Marquette, provided the on-the-floor leadership for the Explorers with the cheer and dance teams. All the sports teams were introduced at the pep rally. “The pep rally was exceptional,” Marquette Catholic Principal Tim Harmon said. “Mrs. DeCourcey did a great job rallying the kids and Charlie Fahnestock also was able to get a good response along with the cheerleaders and dance team. It definitely feels back to normal with the pep rally.” Marquette takes on Breese Central at 7 p.m. for its homecoming game tonight. Prior to the game, at 6:30 p.m. at Johnson’s Corner in Alton, the queen and king candidates will be announced and then there will be a brief Explorers’ parade to Public School Stadium.

EDWARDSVILLE— Madison County’s Veterans Court on Wednesday honored its newest group of graduates – three combat veterans who received praise from the court for using the program’s resources to get their lives back on track. The goal of Madison County’s innovative Veterans Court is to provide a strategy of treatment, rather than jail, for veterans who have entered the criminal justice system and suffer from PTSD or psychological or substance-abuse problems as a result of their service to their country. Veterans Court graduate Grant S. said for him, the program was nothing short of a lifesaver. “Honestly? It saved my life,” Grant said after the ceremony. “If it wasn’t for the program, I’d be in prison or dead. I owe these people a lot – I love these people.” Circuit Judge Sarah Smith, herself a combat veteran, presided over the ceremony, thanking the graduates for their service and commending them for utilizing
