Cm 2008 Editor6/11/2023 This is the Shells’ first short trip to Wood River since 2010 brought a 35-0 Roxana win over EA-WR. The Oilers also would like a seventh win that would likely bring a postseason game to Memorial Stadium for the first time since 2004. 10 after rallying to beat Roxana 20-13 last week. EA-WR could still claim a share of the Cahokia Conference title with an Oilers victory coupled with a Columbia victory at front-running Breese Central, which entered the Class 4A state poll at No. After both teams came in at 1-6 last season, the Oilers have already clinched a playoff berth and the Shells need one win – with what may be a life preserver with winless Marquette Catholic in Week 9 – to get playoff eligible. This is a ‘throw out the records’ rivalry’ between schools separated by 2.5 miles, though neither team wants to in 2022. EA-WR won last year’s game, beating the Shells 34-0 in Roxana. The teams played last season for the first time in 10 years, with both the Shells and Oilers joining the Cahokia Conference’s largest schools in the Mississippi Division in 2021. It took Roxana’s commitment to leave the South Central Conference after 24 years to revive the football rivalry with East Alton-Wood River.
