The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) football playoffs continued with second-round matchups across the state on Friday night. Reporters Adam Duvall and Dave Eminian of the Peoria Journal Star compiled statewide scores as teams advanced toward the state championship brackets.
The second round featured winners from the opening weekend competing in all eight classes, from Class 1A through Class 8A. Schools from the Chicago suburbs, central Illinois, and the Metro East region all saw action as the field narrowed toward the quarterfinals.
Complete scoreboards and updated brackets for each classification are available through the IHSA's official channels. The playoffs will continue next weekend with quarterfinal games scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights at host sites throughout Illinois.
