Local historian, Tom Wilson had a scrapbook with pictures of some of the early Illinois State Basketball Champions. He had 8 pictures of teams from the era of 1908 thru 1946. This is not intended to be all inclusive.
I have added some scores, all-tourney teams, and box scores for some of these tourneys. Enjoy!!
1908- Peoria- State Champions
1910- Bloomington- State Champions
1913- Galesburg- State Champions
1920- Mt. Vernon- State Champions
1928- Canton- State Champions
1930- Peoria Manual- State Champions
1933- Thornton Harvey- State Champions

1908 and 1946 are wrong. Peoria (HS) and Champaign ( Centrsl) won this years.
