In football specifically, public schools would compete in Classes 1A-6A according by enrollment, while private schools would participate in Classes 7A-8A.

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) announced on Tuesday, Nov. 3, that it is investigating "disturbing actions" directed toward an official on Friday, Oct. 30. The incident followed an IHSA Boys Soccer State Series contest at Glenbard South High School (Glen Ellyn, IL).
