BLOOMINGTON — The IHSA released the football schedules for the upcoming season on Thursday. The list includes a pair of Thursday games, along with numerous Saturday games, to go along with the traditional Friday night matchups.
The season openers are slated for August 29-31.
With Vienna/Goreville only playing a junior varsity schedule for the second straight year, seven of the nine remaining Black Diamond Conference teams have openings. CZR has picked up Red Hill in week four, while Flora has added TDW Academy out of St. Louis in week eight. Teams that cannot find a suitable replacement will receive forfeit wins that week.
Here is the complete week by week schedule for teams from the Black Diamond, SIRR Mississippi, SIRR Ohio, South Seven, Cahokia Illinois, Cahokia Mississippi, Little Illini, Mississippi Valley, and Southwestern conferences as well as some independents in the region.
