Ohio East/Southeast Regions defunct athletic conferences

This early incarnation of the ECOL functioned mostly as a football league and secondary league for schools who also participated in local county leagues. The conference would never find its legs, as it spent its last eight years with only four members. • Cadiz Cardinals (1949–52, never belonged to Harrison County League)1 • Carrollton Warriors (1949–60, to Buckeye Border Conference (East) 1961) • Dennison Railroaders (1949–60, to Tuscarawas Valley Athletic Conference)2 • Newcomerstown Trojans (1949–60, never belonged to Tuscarawas County League)2 • Uhrichsville Tigers (1949–60, never belonged to TVAC)2 • Concurrent with HCL 1949-52. • Concurrent with TCL 1949-60. ==East Central Ohio League (new)==

Harrison County League (basketball) formed in 1929 to 1971. ==Highland County League==

The HCL was one of the local small-school county leagues in Southwest Ohio. The league had eight schools for most of its history, but consolidation chipped away at its membership total. League membership had been reduced to three by 1969, and these teams struggled on for a year until the creation of the Southern Hills Athletic League, which saw the three combine with the Adams and Brown county leagues, who had five teams apiece at that point. • Belfast Hornets (1924–69, consolidated into Whiteoak) • Buford Bulldogs (1924–66, consolidated into Lynchburg-Clay) • Leesburg Fairfield Lions (1924–70, to Southern Hills) • Lynchburg-Clay Mustangs (1924–70, Lynchburg until 1966, to Southern Hills) • Marshall Red Flashes (1924–60, consolidated into Hillsboro) • Rainsboro Panthers (1924–68, consolidated into McClain) • Sinking Spring Eagles (1924–68, consolidated into North Adams) • Mowrystown Whiteoak Wildcats (1924–70, to Southern Hills) ==Holmes County League==

This was one of the few county leagues that folded while still having enough members for competition, as the four schools left for different leagues. • Carbon Hill Bulldogs (192?-62, to Athens County League) • Gibsonville Tigers (192?-60, consolidated into Logan) • Haydensville Hawks (192?-34, consolidated into Logan) • Ilesboro Eagles (192?-34, consolidated into Union Furnace) • Laurelville Wildcats (192?-62, to Scioto Valley Conference) • Murray City Miners (192?-62, to Athens County League) • Rockbridge Red Raiders (192?-60, consolidated into Logan) • South Bloomingville Dodgers (192?-60, consolidated into Logan) • Union Furnace Warriors (192?-62, to Southern Valley Athletic League) ==Jackson County League==

This short-lived bridge conference should not be confused with what would eventually become the Pioneer Valley League. While both leagues used the Mid-Ohio Valley name at the same time, this operated more in the Southeast Region, while the eventual PVL more closely aligned with the East Region. All schools in this conference were eventually members of the TVC by either joining after leaving the Mid-Ohio Valley Conference or by consolidating into a school that eventually joined. Glouster, McArthur, and Rutland all joined by consolidating into Trimble, Vinton County, and Meigs. All members are still currently in the TVC except Miller and Wahama, who both left following the 2019-2020 school year. • Reedsville Eastern Eagles (1965–71, to Southern Valley Athletic Conference)1, 2 • Glouster Tomcats (1965–71, to TVC 1978 as Glouster Trimble)3 • McArthur Generals (1965–66, consolidated into Vinton County High School)4 • Rutland Red Devils (1965–67, consolidated into Meigs)1 • Racine Southern Tornadoes (1965–69, to SVAC)1, 2 • Mason (WV) Wahama White Buffaloes (1965–69; nickname now White Falcons) • Albany Alexander Spartans (1966–71, to TVC 1973)3 • McArthur Vinton County Vikings (1966–69, to TVC) • Corning Miller Falcons (1968–71, to TVC 1983) • Concurrent with Meigs County League 1965-67. • Concurrent with SVAC for entire duration in conference. • Concurrent with Athens County League from joining MOVC until 1969. • Concurrent with Vinton County League 1965-66. ==Monroe County League==
