This week, Belleville East (1-4) faces off against Alton (1-0) on Friday at 7:00 PM. Belleville East is out to redeem itself after the comeback defeat it was given in its previous game.
Last week, Belleville East took on O'Fallon. Belleville East's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 23 points in the first half. That put it at a 23 - 14 advantage.
