Northern 10 Athletic Conference

Summarize Timeline Fact Check

The Northern 10 conference was founded in 2012 by ten schools located in North-central Ohio. Six of these schools (Buckeye Central, Bucyrus, Colonel Crawford, Crestline, Riverdale, and Wynford) came from the North Central Conference, three (Carey, Mohawk, and Seneca East) came from the Midland Athletic League, and one (Ridgedale) came from the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference.^[2] The creation of the league effectively disbanded the North Central Conference as its four remaining members would eventually agree to join other leagues by 2014.^[3] The departure of Carey, Mohawk, and Seneca East from the Midland Athletic League similarly started a chain reaction within that conference, resulting in the departure of its remaining members, ultimately leading to its dissolution that same year.^[4]

Blanchard Valley Conference President Traci Conley indicated the BVC wanted to expand to 14 members and sent an invitation to Riverdale High School, which is located in Hancock County, Ohio with most BVC schools.^[5] Riverdale accepted the BVC's invitation on April 22, 2013.^[6] In June 2013, the N10 invited Upper Sandusky to take Riverdale's place in 2014, after the Rams had agreed to join the MOAC.^[7] Upper Sandusky accepted the offer^[8] and joined the N10 in all sports except football, which jumped over in 2015.^[9]

Crestline announced in 2014 that it would leave to join the Mid-Buckeye Conference in 2015–16, which they felt would be a more competitive league for the Bulldogs.^[10]

Ridgedale announced that they would not play a league schedule for football during the 2017 season.^[11] Citing low numbers, frequent injuries, and numerous losses over the last few years, the Rockets began to play an independent schedule against other area teams beginning in 2017. Preparing for the future, the N10 decided to go forward with an eight-team league schedule (playing seven league games during football weeks 4–10) beginning in 2018.

Ridgedale's school board voted 3–2 in late 2019 to leave the N10 and join the Northwest Central Conference beginning with the 2021–2022 school year.^[12] This left the N10 with 8 total members.

On November 8, 2024, the N10 announced that they intended to expand the league from its current eight schools to 14 schools (12 football playing schools) competing in two divisional alignments.^[13] The N10 later announced on February 26, 2025 that they had invited six schools to join their league: Hopewell-Loudon, Lucas, New Riegel (no football), Old Fort (no football), Tiffin Calvert, and Willard.^[14][15] Willard and New Riegel accepted their invitation on March 12th^[16][17] while Lucas accepted on March 18, 2025.^[18] Calvert, Hopewell-Loudon, and Old Fort were included in a statement from the league on March 28, 2025 that announced all six were being added to the league for the 2026–2027 school year.^[19]
