Playoffs
The IHSLA sponsors two playoff series, one for A-Class to define the Illinois State
High School Champions and one for B-Class for the Lacrosse Cup.
Both series in 2010 will contain 26 teams in a single-elimination format. Seeding
is based on a coaches poll taken at a seeding meeting at the end of the regular
season.
The playoff games will be played at the home field of the highest seeded team.
Details for each playoff series can be found at the following links:
A-Class State Championship Playoff Bracket
B-Class Lacrosse Cup Playoff Bracket
The Finals of both the State Championship and the Lacrosse Cup will be played at
Oak Park River Forest High School
on Saturday, June 5. The Lacrosse Cup game will begin at 1:00PM, the State
Championship game will begin at 4:00PM. The stadium gates open at 12:00 noon, and
tickets will be available at the door for $5 per person. Tickets are usable for
the entire afternoon, and hand stamps will be used to allow exit and re-entry. Free
parking will be available in the public parking garage adjacent to the stadium.
IHSA rules and Oak Park public safety rules apply to the event, so there will be
no fires, barbeques, or alcohol allowed in or around the stadium or parking garage.
Concessions will be available at the stadium courtesy of the OPRF Lacrosse Club.
Teams may enter the locker rooms one hour before game time.
Media passes are required for field access during the championship games. Media
passes may be acquired on game day at the stadium media bench just inside the ticket
gate. Passes will be available for valid media outlet members, professional photographers
and participating team photographers. Please bring ID. Media locations will be clearly
marked on the field from the end zone corner to the 30-yard line. Media members
may not cross the field at the end zones during the games.
The scoring table will be staffed by OPRF Lacrosse. There is no need this year to
have the participating teams provide scorers, statisticians, or horn/penalty volunteers.
All-Star Games
The IHSLA also sponsors an A-Class and B-Class All-Star game for seniors at the
end of each season. Each IHSLA team is given a number of roster spots based on their
playoff seeding position and the coaches will select seniors from their teams to
represent their school. It is always a great time to watch the outgoing seniors
exercise their lacrosse skills one last time as high-schoolers.
The 2010 All-Star game will be played on Thursday, June 10. The games will be played
at Benedictine University at 6:15PM (B-Class) and 8:00PM (A-Class).
Players should be on the field one hour before gametime to meet their coaches and
teammates. Players will be provided shorts and jerseys for the game (keep the shorts,
return the jerseys).
Field passes and media passes are not required for the All-Star game.
Volunteers will be needed to coordinate gameday activities. Details forthcoming.
