Before the varsity game began, the principal greeted everyone and thanked them all for supporting the team through the years. Then he asked for any letter winner from 1900-1910 to stand and one man did. He encouraged the man to remain standing as he asked letter winners from the next decade to stand and they did. That's what this is all about. Over the years, IHSA has been recognized throughout America as one of the nation's preeminent state high school associations.
History continues to show the impact of teachers and coaches on our state and national leaders.
If IHSA's first 100 years are any indication of what is ahead in the next century, our future is very bright.
