## Summary

Chicago Goode and Quincy combined for 172 points in an Illinois high school football playoff game that was interrupted by fading light. With the score at 88-84 and fewer than four minutes remaining, officials paused play and moved the game to a lit venue about five miles away, where it resumed an hour later.

Quincy won 88-84, with quarterback Bryson Little throwing for a state single-game record 675 yards and eight touchdowns, as well as rushing for two more. Goode’s Aedan Cleveland ran for 322 yards and five touchdowns. The game had been moved from Saturday to Friday and kicked off at 3pm at Goode’s unlit field; the article says the teams produced more than 1,400 yards of offence combined, though those statistics were unofficial.
