Litchfield High School is a public high school in Litchfield, Illinois, between Springfield and St. Louis. It competes in Class A, the "small school" division, of the Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) State Championship Series.
The team was coached by Dennis Scobbie, a member of the IHSSBCA Hall of Fame, throughout the 1990s and 2000s. In 2009 they finished 2nd in the IHSA Tournament, and in 2010 they won the small school division of Masonic State, the first time that the Illinois State Masonic Tournament had a small school division. The stars of these teams were Evan Daigle and Peter York. Amanda Lamore then coached the team for three years, during which time they were a strong small school led in scoring by David York. The team finished 4th at the first SSNCT in 2014.
