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

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

    Bartholomew-Shelby County League

This league was a rare arrangement where all of the non-city schools from two counties played in the same conference. Bartholomew County had only two rural schools in the far north of the county, and were able to participate with their peers within Shelby County. Once Hauser left in 1961, the league became the Shelby County League for three seasons, until the three remaining schools rejoined thm in the Mid-Hoosier Conference.

    Marion County Athletic Association

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 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.
