ALTON - The Alton High School boys' soccer team did not have a season to remember last year. Senior forward Ashton Scheppers will be the first one to tell you that. He's ready to put all that behind him though and is looking forward to his senior season. The Redbirds' season kicked off Thursday night (August 25) against Springfield Southeast with a huge 6-0 win. The scoresheet credits Scheppers with a couple of goals in that win. One of them was off a nice breakaway from the half-field line. He timed his run perfectly to accept a well-delivered through ball and put it past the keeper. That was the sixth and final goal of the game. Ashton is an Auto Butler Male Athlete of the Month for Alton High School. Ashton played club soccer growing up but then switched to baseball. He said he was happy to get back into the sport in high school. "My parents usually like baseball," he said, but according to him, he plays soccer because it's a fun way to stay in shape. After last year, it's easy

Sometimes the parents may not be home, so we are providing some food that can be prepared in their absence.” Brown pointed out that some Alton residents may have lost their jobs and be in need of some accessible food. “I am always wanting to give back and look at what is needed in the community,” Brown said. “We are partnering

ALTON - Marquette Catholic senior Hanna Marshall is a two-sport athlete for the Explorers who just wants to have as much fun as possible in her final year of high school. This fall she's playing volleyball and come spring she plays soccer. She has played both sports at Marquette for all four years now. She mentioned that fall is her favorite season, but soccer will always be her preferred sport. Last season, her volleyball team recorded a 24-9-2 record. Unfortunately, they bowed out in the first round of the postseason, something Hannah does not want to do again. "I want to go further than just regionals. I want to have a good season with the team," she said. The Explorers went out in the Regional Semifinals against No. 8-seeded Litchfield. It was quite the upset to end their season. Hanna and the team are using that as motivation to capture just their second Regional Championship in program history. The photo of Hanna above was taken at Marquette's 1st Annual 'Blue and White Volleybal
