On Thursday October 23, 2025, Chester Grade School presented its 4th set of “HIVE” awards for the 2025-2026 school year. These awards are presented twice each month throughout the year and students in grades Kindergarten through 8th Grade are eligible to be recognized for demonstrating one or more of the four “HIVE” character traits.
Character traits being recognized include Respect, Responsibility, Safety, and/or Empathy. Throughout the weeks leading up to each set of “HIVE” award presentations, teachers, staff and administration, are observing students that are regularly demonstrating the four “HIVE” good character traits.
Nominations can be made by any CGS employee, but typically are made by teachers or classroom paraprofessionals who are in day-to-day, regular contact with the respective students. All nominations are submitted to the coordinator of the program, Kacey Crook, School Counselor. Crook reviews all of the nominations and selects the bi-monthly award winners.
All award winners are recognized at the bi-monthly school-wide “Morning Meetings” that take place in the CGS gymnasium. All students, teachers and paraprofessionals are in attendance at this bi-monthly gathering of the CGS family.

Following the presentations, a group photo is taken of all “HIVE” award recipients with their certificates. These photos are published in various media outlets as well as on various social media platforms.

Chester wins Cahokia Conference, Illinois Division Championship with 42-18 win at Red Bud (1 of 2)
Jackets finish conference season undefeated at 5-0 and improve to 7-1 overall; likely secure playoff bid
BY JIM BEERS
The Chester YellowJacket Football Team traveled to Randolph County rival, Red Bud, Friday October 17 to battle for the outright championship of the Cahokia Conference, Illinois Division. A loss would have likely resulted in having to share the title with Dupo, however, the YellowJackets took care of business and dominated the Musketeers throughout the game and secured the conference outright title by beating Red Bud, 42-18.
In the process, Chester finished the conference season with an undefeated record of 5-0, and improved to 7-1 overall. The win also very likely secured Chester a playoff bid in the 2025 IHSA Class 2A State Championships. When and where the Jackets will play remains to be seen, however, a win over Nashville at home this week would very possibly result in a first round home playoff game.
CHS Head Coach Billy Belton said, “I am so proud of the boys! They have worked so hard this season. To win the Cahokia Conference, Illinois Division title two years in-a-row, in back-to-back years is very special. Tonight was a great team win. Everyone contributed!”
“Special Teams played great. Alex Blechle had a great punt return for a touchdown. Kickoff coverage was really good. Coach Colvis has done a great job with the Special Teams group.”
Belton continued, “On offense, Ethan Colvis and the offensive line had a big night. Colvis rushed for more than 100-yards for the 7th time this season. Zain Eggemeyer had a big night with two touchdowns. Trey McCartney and TaShawn Palacio had big night catching the ball. It was just a great night for the Offensive Unit.”
“On defense, Morgan Miers had another great night with a sack and a big tackle for a loss. I really like how the defense was flying around and playing very physically. Jaden Ramirez also had a nice interception late in the game. I’m so proud of the boys! What a great win it was at Red Bud to end the 2025 conference portion of the season!”
In the win, the Jackets established their dominance early with a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. During that statement, Ethan Colvis scored on a 23-yard run and Karim Landeros kicked the extra-point and CHS led, 7-0. Alex Blechle scored next with an impressive 58-yard punt return for Chester’s second touchdown. Karim Landeros kicked the extra-point and the Jackets extended their lead to 14-0.
To close out the first quarters scoring Zane Eggemeyer had a 26-yard touchdown. Karim Landeros kicked the extra-point and Chester established a 21-point lead to end the opening quarter.
The Musketeers managed to score three points on a 40-yard field goal by Brayden Koester to kick off the second quarter. Chester led, 21-3. The YellowJackets answered with a 2-yard pass from quarterback Tray Peters to wide receiver TaShawn Palacio for Chester’s fourth touchdown of the game. Karim Landeros remained perfect for the game by kicking the extra-point to extend the YellowJackets lead to 25 points, 28-3.
Before the first half ended, Chester scored its 5th touchdown of the game on an 8-yard run by Ethan Colvis, his second of the game. Karim Landeros kicked his 5th extra-point of the game and the Jackets took a 32-point lead, 35-3, into the locker room at halftime.
In the third quarter both teams would score one touchdown apiece. Red Bud struck first with an 8-yard run, complete with a two-point conversion. That 8-point play narrowed the Chester lead to 24 points, 35-11.
The YellowJackets answered with a 23-yard passing touchdown from Tray Peters to Zane Eggemeyer, his second of the game. Karin Landeros remained perfect kicking his 6th extra-point. CHS led by 31 points, 42-11, at the end of the 3rd quarter.
In the final quarter Red Bud scored the only touchdown on a four-yard pass and extra-point kick. The touchdown was Red Bud’s second. It was the Musketeers’ first extra-point kick. Added to the field goal and 8-point touchdown and 2-point conversion, Red Bud finished the game with 18 points, 24 points less the YellowJackets. Chester won, 42-18.
In the win the YellowJackets ran 54 plays vs Red Bud’s 64. CHS recorded a total of 382 yards (181 passing and 201 rushing) and RBHS recorded 336 yards (268 passing and 68 rushing). Regarding 3nd down efficiency, Chester was 64% (4-for-6) and Red Bud was 43% (6-for-14). The YellowJackets did not turn the ball over even once, while Red Bud turned the ball over once on an interception. Chester was called for nine penalties for 88 yards. Red Bud was only called for 5 penalties for 38 yards.
