Our top story is about how with some central Illinois student athletes facing a stretch of double duty, many programs are striving not to spread the players too thin. You'll also hear how Melodi Green is a Peoria native who worked hard to make her dreams of becoming an attorney come true. Now she's the first Black woman to head the Juvenile Division of the Peoria County State's Attorney's Office. Green recently spoke to WCBU's Tim Shelley about her personal journey and advice for those who might follow in her footsteps.
