The Illinois High School Association football state championships will not be played at Illinois State University’s Hancock Stadium on Saturday.
Four games were scheduled, the Class 8A, 7A, 6A and 5A championships. ISU will close its campus tomorrow due to the expected snowstorm.
“The postponement of the IHSA Football State Finals is unprecedented in the state playoffs 51-year history,” IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson said in a statement. “All of the competing teams in Class 5A, 6A, 7A and 8A have been alerted that their state championship games will not be played on November 29, but that they will be played in the coming days. We appreciate the patience and understanding of these schools and communities as we work to determine the best and safest solution to rescheduling these contests and crowning state champions in our four largest classes.”
