Did You Know? The "Did you know?" section was created to help Illinois high school football fans understand the game a little better. This page is set up to bring to attention little know rules or reasons of why some things occur in the season or playoffs. Also we all know clueless some freshmen are. Eventually IHSFW.com would like this to become an encyclopedia of Illinois High School Football knowledge, but for now we will be building it one term at a time. If you have a suggestion for a term or want to know what a term means. E-mail IHSFW@ihsfw.com.

Enrollment Below is the exact text from the IHSA rule book. A member schools
football enrollment shall be determined as follows:
Playoff
Points The "Playoff Points" or "Tiebreaker", is a combination from the wins of all opponents on schedule. While having a higher number does increase a team's chance of getting into the playoffs, there are still several other factors that determine who gets in and where. All teams that claim a conference championship or finish the season with 7 wins are automatically clinch a playoff bid. After that playoff spots come down to overall record & then the playoff points. Further ties are broken by the combined wins of all defeated opponents. Under the current 8 class playoff system, most teams that finish the season 5-4 make the playoffs.
Prep
Bowl The Prep Bowl is one of the oldest playoffs in high school football in the country. The Prep Bowl has been played every single year since 1927 when Catholic League championsChicago (Mt. Carmel)beatChicago (Schurz)6-0. The Prep Bowl is played at Chicago's Soldier Field and holds the national record for the largest crowd ever to watch a high school football game. The crowd estimated at 110,000 to 130,000 people has also been estimated to be the largest football crowd for any level of play including professional.
