South Central Conference (IHSAA)
Encyclopedia
The South Central Conference was an IHSAA
-sanctioned conference from 1936 to 1997. The conference began as a collection of schools in mid-sized and large cities in South Central and Southeast Indiana, expanding into both suburban Indianapolis (Southport) and far Southern Indiana (Jeffersonville). The conference had been as big as 10 in the 1950's, but was down to six schools in the 1980's. With Connersville and Rushville leaving in the advent of class basketball, being replaced by Bloomington North and Center Grove, the conference had shifted to a small conference of large schools. As class basketball was set to be introduced in the 1997-98 school year, the South Central and Central Suburban conferences, as well as large independent schools, decided to reorganize, giving way to Conference Indiana
and the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference
