Week 4 high school football scores, live updates around Western Illinois
As Week 4 of the Illinois high school football season approaches, a hint of clarity could arrive for teams in Western Illinois , along with the first Friday night that involves long sleeves. Cooler temperatures are expected for this week's lineup, a welcome respite after scorching conditions throughout August and into Labor Day weekend. That said, there are several sizzling matchups on the field for local fans. State-ranked Geneseo goes for a fourth straight win to open the year after starting Western Big 6 play with a dominant victory over Rock Island. The Leafs play Moline at home. Some fun crossover action takes place in the LincolnLand. Macomb is at Stark County for a battle of unbeatens, while Farmington goes to Abingdon-Avon in a matchup of 2-1 programs. They are the four highest-scoring teams in the league so far. The Three Rivers Mississippi is completely up for grabs as division play begins this week. Four teams are 1-2, while Hall is 0-3 and Sherrard had to suspend its season after Week 2. Monmouth-Roseville's game vs. Princeton will go a long way to show us how the standings could look at the end of the regular season. More: Sherrard football will

New program brings career advisors to West Central IL schools
A national educational program is coming to Illinois, focusing on rural schools in the western part of the state. “Oftentimes our rural students in particular, maybe don't even know all the different opportunities that are available to them,” said Tracy Family Foundation Senior Programs Manager Angie Schalter. “Our counselors are so busy.
