    The IHSA didn't make the decision-- ISU did.

    few dumber things in the world than the IHSA football seeding system by record, that basically lets dysfunctional CPS ruin the playoffs.

    Refs…

    It’s a really tough job, no doubt. But system changes and reforms are in order to improve refereeing and protect the integrity of the game. First- refs don’t make enough— $90 per game is a lower hourly rate than my teenager makes some nights babysitting. The monopoly IHSA cries over a...

    DGN 13 Fenwick 10 final

    New IHSA bylaw proposal seeks to eliminate Prep Bowl

    FWIW- It’s false that Fenwick went 3-6 in 2022, as stated in the Sycamore AD’s rationale. They went 5-4 — season included a week 8 forfeit win over Marian Central Catholic. Fenwick lost 14-6 to Morgan Park in the first round of the 5A playoffs, at Gately. Friars then entered the Prep Bowl...
