1988 IHSA State Championship Tournament
State Champion:

Quincy Senior High School

Runner-Up:

Wheaton Central High School

The 1988 Illinois High School Association (IHSA) State Championship Tournament was held in May, 1988 at Mahomet-Seymour High School. It was the second State Championship Tournament in Illinois, sponsored by the IHSA.

Advancement

The state was divided into 16 areas, termed in Illinois as Sectionals. Each sectional hosted a tournament, the winner of which advanced to the State Tournament. The determination of these geographic boundaries was arbitrarily decided by the IHSA Office.

Tournament Format

Each round was comprised of 40 toss-ups and accompanying bonus questions. The sectional tournaments and State Championship Tournament were all single elimination. Teams were randomly assigned to positions in the bracket without regard for record or performance.

There was no third place match. The top two teams earned trophies and medals for team members, coaches, principals, and activities directors. The trophies were of the design smaller than that of the athletic trophies given out by the IHSA.

Notes

  • This was the second of Quincy's three championships; all of which would be won under IHSSBCA Hall of Fame coach Beth Young. They were (obviously) the first team in Illinois to win back-to-back IHSA State Titles.
  • Wheaton Central was closed a few years after this tournament. The IHSA assigned Wheaton Warrenville South as the caretaker of that school's records, and thus inherited the State Runner-Up title.
