Indiana County Athletic Conferences

There were numerous conferences within the IHSAA that were made up of schools based entirely in one county. Many of these "County Conferences" also contained schools from neighboring counties that were either geographically closer or smaller than the other schools in their home county. These conferences would fold when schools would consolidate and seek out other, more expansive conferences that included similar-sized schools. The starting date of many of these conferences is hard to confirm, so the listing for many of these leagues uses the earliest date that can be confirmed.

Adams County Conference

edit

This conference predates the end of World War II, and most of its members shared membership with the Eastern Indiana Conference (EIC). The last non-EIC member closed in 1956, and this county league folded the next year.

Bartholomew-Shelby County League

edit

Originally the Shelby County League, the conference became a rare arrangement where all of the non-city schools from two counties played in the same conference in 1928, as Clifford and Hope became the only two schools remaining from the Bartholomew County Conference. Rather than just absorbing the two schools, the league rebranded under the BSCL moniker.[1] Once Hauser left in 1961, the league took the old SCL name for three seasons, until the three remaining schools rejoined Hauser in the Mid-Hoosier Conference.

Hamilton County Conference

edit

Originally a 10-team conference located in Hamilton County (though Sheridan's attendance zone included a township in Boone County), consolidation and attendance disparities forced the remaining four schools to part ways. Noblesville became independent for some years, while the other three schools (including the newly formed Hamilton Heights, and Fishers, renamed as Hamilton Southeastern) left for the Mid-Capital.

These schools joined with schools from Miami County to form the Howard-Miami Conference.

Marion County Athletic Association

edit

The first attempt by the township schools in Marion County to organize competition, the league organized a basketball tournament in the winter of 1928, then organized a season schedule in the 1928-29 school year. The league broke up in 1945, as all but three schools had found other conferences to join. The schools would all later reunite (minus Southport) in the Central Suburban Conference in 1971, though this would only last a few years. Today the Township schools are either in Conference Indiana or the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference.

Often credited as the cradle of Indiana basketball, Montgomery County was home to three of the first four State Champions in the sport. When combined with neighboring Boone and Tippecanoe Counties, the area claimed the first eight winners. The conference lasted until 1966, when all schools folded into the Big 4 Conference.

Warren County Conference

edit

A small, triangular conference (with only three schools in the county) for most of its existence, the conference existed in two versions with the same schools (opting not to compete from 1934 to 1947, as all members were within the Midwest Conference). While Seeger started as a renaming of West Lebanon in 1959 rather than a consolidation, it is given its own entry, since its nickname and colors were different as well.
