BELLEVILLE EAST 61, ALTON 43: Alton lost Cri'shonna Hickman to injury in the second term as the Redbirds dropped their Southwestern Conference opener to Belleville East Tuesday night on the road.
The Redbirds fell to 1-4 overall, 0-1 in the SWC; the Lancers went to 5-1 overall, 1-0 in the league.

We discussed the importance of the start of the (second) half and we turned the ball over twice and missed a shot. We got some stops on defense but we could never cut the lead, but the turnovers in the third mounted and we were on our heels.”
