Firelands Conference

The Firelands Conference is an Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) athletic league located in north-central Ohio. The league was formed in the 1960–61 school year and is named for the Firelands area of the old Western Reserve, where most of the member schools reside. High schools in this conference are located in Ashland, Huron, and Richland counties. Some of the schools' district boundaries extend into the neighboring counties of Crawford, Erie, and Lorain. Most of the founding schools came from the defunct Huron-Erie League.

History
The Fireland Conference was established in 1960 with most schools coming from the Huron–Erie League, with founding members Berlin Heights, Milan, Monroeville, South Central, Perkins and Western Reserve High Schools. Perkins left the conference prior to the conclusion of the 1962–1963 school year. Hayesville, Jeromesville and Mapleton became members during the spring 1963 season, which Hayesville and Jeromesville quickly left, following the consolidations of both schools to form Hillsdale, who joined in 1963. Black River became a member in 1964. In 1965, Berlin Heights and Milan consolidated their school districts, but had remained separate high schools until 1968, when both consolidated to form Edison, who remained in the conference. St. Paul joined the same year. Hillsdale left the Firelands Conference in 1970, in favor of joining the Wayne County Athletic League. New London took their place for after leaving the Lakeland Conference. Crestview and Plymouth joined the league in 1982, with the league splitting into two divisions: North (Edison, Monroeville, New London, St. Paul, Western Reserve) and South (Black River, Crestview, Mapleton, Plymouth, South Central). Edison left for the Sandusky Bay Conference in 1986, with the divisions dissolving after their departure. Black River left for the Mohican Area Conference in 1993.
