Lisle is a public high school in -you guessed it- Lisle, Illinois. The high school is located in a pretty sweet western suburb of Chicago, and plays in Class A, the "small school" division, in the Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) State Championship Series. Lisle also competes in the Illinois Central Eight Conference & has for many years represented one of the few "small" public schools to represent the Chicago suburbs, thus giving it a distinct advantage over comparable schools its size elsewhere in the state. It has been coached for many years by Yousef Matariyeh, during whose tenure, Lisle has been one of the few schools to directly challenge Latin, most notably winning back-to-back IHSA state titles in 2010 & 2011.

IHSSBCA Individual Awards
The following were honored by the Illinois High School Scholastic Bowl Coaches Association (IHSSBCA) for outstanding play through their All-Sectional/All-State Program. Each sectional comprises roughly 24 geographically concentrated teams, and thus roughly 125 starting players. Through the 2006-07 season, the top ten players were recognized in each sectional,(starting with 2007-08, the number was raised to 15) with teams restricted to no more than two nominations (three nominations starting in 2007-08). There are twenty All-State awards given each year (10 First Team, 10 Second Team) in each of Illinois' two classes.
