Alton, off to its best start since breaking at 8-0 in 2017, improves to 5-2. CM is 3-5.   The teams have split their last eight games in the River Bend rivalry, but CM failed to put up a run against Alton for the first time since 2015 when five Redbirds pitchers combined for a 5-0 shutout in Alton.

Boys Varsity Soccer vs. Collinsville High School

Collinsville 4, Alton 1 - Alton was locked in a close game with Collinsville Wednesday night, trailing the Kahoks 2-1. But the Kahoks came out with a more intense defense, scored two more goals and went on to defeat the Redbirds 4- at Kahok Stadium. “Credit to Collinsville,” Alton coach Tyler Hamilton said. “They came out in the second half and turned the pressure up. We didn’t respond like I thought we would.” Alton’s goal in the first half was scored by Noah Hardin from assist by Simon McClain. The game was rescheduled from Tuesday night because of lightning. The Kahoks got a pair of goals from Adam Reiniger. With its victory, Collinsville raised its record to 5-4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Southwestern Conference. Alton is 0-7 overall and 0-3 in the conference. The Redbirds’ next game is set for Thursday at O’Fallon.
