Summary
Immaculate Conception Catholic Prep and York Community, two Illinois high schools, were involved in a scrimmage that appeared to violate the state’s high school football practice rules. The teams played with full contact without full pads, which is against IHSA By-Law 3.157. The video of the scrimmage went viral, showing players tackling each other to the ground, which is not allowed when players are not in full pads.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
High school football teams in Illinois are not allowed to engage in full contact without full pads, but that didn’t stop Immaculate Conception Catholic Prep and York Community from doing so in a recent scrimmage. The video of the scrimmage showed players tackling each other to the ground, which is not allowed.
Grant Bowen, a top-100 prospect in the college football recruiting Class of 2028, led his team in the scrimmage.
The Illinois High School Association could take action against the teams for violating the rules.
Because, of course, the real contact sport is trying to follow the rules.
