Illinois High School Football Huddle

Football practice across the state begins August 10th, but legendary coach Jim Unruh will not be on the Illini West sideline.

Unruh resigned last week after an incredible career that saw him win six state titles between Illini West and Carthage High Schools.  His overall record in 25-years as head coach at the school was 256-45.

Unruh goes out on a high, with his team having won last year's 3A title, plus he won 40 of his last 41 games.
