Get Illinois High School Boys Lacrosse a State Title

The Issue

This year, the Illinois Department of Health and the IHSA have stated that High School Boys Lacrosse will not have a state tournament. After losing out on half of the season this year, and the entire season last year, these teams deserve the right to compete for the state title. The players and coaches believe that the playing of these few lacrosse games, will not have an impact on Covid-19 cases in the state and have put in countless hours working on and off the field in order to have the opportunity to play for this title. We are calling on the IHSA, the IDPH, and those who have the power to change this decision to do so, to give these players, the game that they rightfully deserve.
