Greatest Championship Game in IHSA History?

[akz68]

Wow what a game! Looks like Tolono Unity is 0-7 in state title games according to the IHSA website...what a heartbreaker but an unbelievable effort from these two teams. What are the other games that are in the mix for greatest championship game in IHSA history? Any other playoff games or regular season games that come to mind? I can think of a few that are right up there with this one, but man it is hard to think of many that can surpass what we just saw. This is what makes high school football so great!

Look back at 3A over the years.

There have been some barn burners.

Byron was upset a couple times once by Williamsville once by Monticello. Both involved late heroics. Wilmington won in 2014 on a walk off FG.

But this one was pretty damn great and had the video game stats.

This game was insane. Best title game in a while that I can remember. I'm sure there were some other great recent ones.

Considine muffs the onside kick then breaks up the would-be game winning touchdown pass.

I need to see some stat lines.

It was one of the best ever ... hard to pick one as better.

An awesome game. Even more so since it was predicted to be a blowout. Hat tip to Tolono for fighting til the end.

I may be biased but I’ll take StL’s OT walk off PAT winner in 1976 as the GOAT.
