The History of Indiana HS Football

Indiana’s high school football history began in 1891 with the first game between South Bend High School and Notre Dame, which Notre Dame won 81-0. Initially, there were no state championships; teams competed in regional leagues, culminating in a special tournament to determine the best in the state. In 1923, the first state championship game featured Evansville Bosse High School and Indianapolis Shortridge High School, won by Bosse 14-0. Since then, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) has organized an annual state championship game. Some schools with impressive championship records include Cathedral High School with 14 titles, Fort Wayne Bishop Luers with 11, Roncalli High School with 10, and Center Grove High School with 8.
