Only the top 3% of FFA members in Ohio earn this distinction!

Athletic Department Presentation Highlights

N10 Conference Transition Process

  • We are currently working through the process of transitioning to the N10 Conference.

N10 Conference Structure

  • The N10 will be divided into two divisions: East and West, for non-football and junior high athletics.

  • We will compete in the West Division alongside Carey, Mohawk, Old Fort, Hopewell-Loudon, Calvert, and Upper Sandusky.

  • We will play each team in our division twice per season.

  • Each year, we will rotate 3 crossover games with teams from the East Division.

  • For basketball and volleyball, the last game of the season will be reserved for crossover games to determine a true league champion…1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, down to 7 vs. 7.  We felt as though we could not do that for baseball and softball because of the uncertainty involving rainouts as well as saving pitchers for the OHSAA tournament.   

Junior High Athletics

  • Junior high teams will only compete against opponents within our division.

Timeline for Implementation

  • The transition to the N10 Conference will begin with the 2026-2027 season.

Travel, Finance, and Competitive Considerations

  • Current travel logistics, including additional long-distance trips being added to the current conference and the increased potential of those trips, were carefully considered in the decision.  Our longest divisional road trip will now be to Old Fort!

  • Hopefully, eliminating school an hour +  away will help with our gate and add a little more excitement to some of our games.

  • The opportunity to regularly compete against teams in Wyandot and Seneca county also factored into our evaluation.
