Homewood-Flossmoor is located just South of Chicago. Over time, they probably have been the strongest program in the South Suburbs, winning nine IHSA Sectional Titles and several SICA Conference Titles.
Throughout much of the 1990s, H-F hosted one of the largest tournaments in Illinois, typically occurring in January and attracting over forty teams. The questions were written, and the tournament was run, by Will Oldaker, who is now a member of the IHSSBCA Hall of Fame. Oldaker's teams consistently were among the strongest in the state, playing a full schedule of local tournaments and winning close to ninety percent of their matches.
In the first few years of the 21st Century, the team returned to powerhouse status under Coach Robert Girsch, thanks in large part to the play of Parag Bhayani.
The team, now coached by Michael Sacks, is perhaps the top team in the South Suburbs. They won their IHSA Sectionals in 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2013. Coach Sacks also revived the Homewood-Flossmoor Invitational for a couple of years and then started hosting IHSSBCA tournaments such as Kickoffs and Turnabouts.

IHSSBCA individual awards
The following were honored by the Illinois High School Scholastic Bowl Coaches Association (IHSSBCA) for outstanding play through their All-Sectional/All-State Program. Each sectional comprises roughly 24 geographically concentrated teams, and thus roughly 125 starting players. Through the 2006-07 season, the top ten players were recognized in each sectional, (starting with 2007-08, the number was raised to 15) with teams restricted to no more than two nominations (three nominations starting in 2007-08). There are twenty All-State awards given each year (10 First Team, 10 Second Team) in each of Illinois' two classes.
