OHSAA Northeast Region defunct athletic conferences

☆ Save On Wikipedia ↗

This is a list of former high school athletic conferences in the Northeast Region of Ohio, as designated by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). If a conference had members that span multiple regions, the conference is placed in the article of the region most of its former members hail from. Because the names of localities and their corresponding high schools do not always match and because there is often a possibility of ambiguity with respect to either the name of a locality or the name of a high school, the following table gives both in every case, with the locality name first, in plain type, and the high school name second in boldface type. The school's team nickname is given last.

Trolley League

The Trolley League was an OHSAA athletic conference that existed from 1919 until 1929. It was announced in November 1918 initially formed as an informal association for basketball, with play beginning in January 1919, followed by a track meet later that year.[8] Early membership was fluid, with 16 teams initially listed in September 1919 for the inaugural football season, but by the end of the season in November, only 5 teams are mentioned as members.[9][10] For the 1920 football season, only 4 teams listed. It disbanded in 1929 after the city of Kenmore was annexed into Akron and Kenmore High School joined the Akron City Series, followed by Cuyahoga Falls going independent and Bedford and Ravenna deciding to leave for other conferences. Kent Roosevelt and Kent State High Schools attempted to reorganize the league for 1930, but nothing ever came of it.[11] Instead, Kent Roosevelt and Kent State helped form the Western Reserve League in 1932, which was later joined by Ravenna and Cuyahoga Falls.
