I think so. NB isn’t going to get any smaller.That's a good looking conference that makes sense geographically, size of schools, and 10 is a perfect number. Down the road if Ashland-Greenwood grows and gets out maybe North Bend Central moves in?

To me Skutt and SSC should be in the Eastern Midlands going forward.
Auburn and Falls City would be good pair, just not sure where.
In the Lewis and Clark, Allen and Emerson Hubbard will be one.
Always surprised the Mid-States doesnt have a 10th. Lutheran High in Norfolk? Ponca? Madison and Stanton both left not too many years ago. West Point Beemer always seems like a great fit to me but it seems like as long as Guarduan Angels is there it wont happen. Thinking out of the box here but....Winnebago? They continue to grow in enrollment which in theory should help their competitiveness in some of the secondary sports.
I think EMC and River Cities will eventually merge.To me Skutt and SSC should be in the Eastern Midlands going forward.

Allen and EH will put the Lewis and Clark at 16.
WPB should be in the Mid State. GACC should be in the EHC. I’ve said that for years.
Agree. Competition isn’t an issue. And I know GACC has good relationships with the schools, it’s just from a size standpoint.I've often wondered the same.....though GACC has more than been competitive in the Mid-State, especially on the girls side.
That would make sense for sure.That's a good looking conference that makes sense geographically, size of schools, and 10 is a perfect number. Down the road if Ashland-Greenwood grows and gets out maybe North Bend Central moves in?
Interesting, I wouldn’t hate that.Link: https://journalstar.com/sports/high...cle_38847c9d-b353-517e-85a7-96362a9fa060.html
Ron Powell of the Lincoln Journal Star is calling for the Lincoln schools to break away from the HAC and form their own Class A conference.
Lincoln Public Schools will be adding two new high schools, one opening in 2022 and the other in 2023. That would give Lincoln nine Class A schools (eight public schools plus Pius X). He also suggests that with growth, someday Norris and Waverly could very well be Class A schools, and this new "Star City Conference" would be a natural landing spot for them.
He then proposes the remaining HAC members (Columbus, Fremont, Grand Island, Kearney, Norfolk) could pick up Hastings, North Platte and South Sioux City to have their own 8-team league.

Agree. City and suburban separate leagues.Yes! No need for these huge conferences. No large TV deals are in place like the colleges. The Metro should do the same with OPS and non OPS schools.
Good for Falls City...but seems like an odd fit. They will be in the same conference as Mead and Weeping Water? I’m surprised the Capitol or the new Trailblazer conference didn’t accept them.
That conference will be losing schools over the next few years as it reshapes and will probably settle around 6 schoolsGood for Falls City...but seems like an odd fit.

First year in the conference and they already have two state champions.That conference will be losing schools over the next few years as it reshapes and will probably settle around 6 schools
Still odd to me Falls City is in the ECNC. Falls City playing Mead and Weeping Water? That conference need to reorganize IMO.
Honestly, I am making a spreadsheet of conference reorganization, I remembered this thread from the past and the Falls City post was the last post in it. So...8:30 am on Easter morning, and digging up a thread that hasn't been posted in since early July of 2020? Must be very concerning for you. Then again, I'm replying to it at 10:00 pm on Easter too.
Looking it up, Falls City split with Weeping Water and Mead in Volleyball (had a cancellation with Weeping Water in the ECNC VB tournament and lost to Mead...then beat Weeping Water regular season), Boys Basketball beat Weeping Water and lost to Mead, and Girls Basketball lost to Weeping Water twice and didn't play Mead.
There might be a reason that a conference with some smaller schools like the ECNC would be enticing to Falls City, vs. a Trailblazer or a Capitol Conference.

It just seems odd a large C1 school is playing D2 schools that are over an hour away, when they could play similar sized schools the same distance. But, FC hasn't had a conference home in years, so maybe there was a reason for that.
Woah really? I had no idea they left the MNAC.Hey while we are on the subject, did anyone catch Ansley/Litchfield moving to the Fort Kearny Conference this year? Was supprised to see them leave the MNAC
I am doubting the SNC would ask them due to TravelWhy wouldn't Falls City try to get into that southern conference with Fairbury and all of them?
Someone mentioned the Capitol Conference. I don't think that fits at all geographically but neither did GNAC as a whole.
This is year 2 of A-L being in the FKC. They filled the void left by the coop of Elwood and Eustis Farnam. Would love to see Bertrand join and Amherst move on.Hey while we are on the subject, did anyone catch Ansley/Litchfield moving to the Fort Kearny Conference this year?

At one point the LouPlatte was looking at Amherst as a member. That would be a great fit, especially now that Kearney Catholic and Adams Central have moved on. There are some schools that are very similar in size there.This is year 2 of A-L being in the FKC. They filled the void left by the coop of Elwood and Eustis Farnam.

Isnt Amherst a D1 school. why wouldnt they just stay in a D1/D2 conference ? legit asking hereAt one point the LouPlatte was looking at Amherst as a member.

When Kearney decided to build a new school on the south side of town. Amhersts numbers have exploded. You should see their JH numbers.They are C2 in some sports I think. I know they were C in wrestling for a year or two recently, but not sure if they still are. They are D1 football.
Yeah Amherst would be a nice fit in the LouPlatte. Amherst will benefit in the long run with Kearney’s continued growth and Kearney only wanting one public HS.When Kearney decided to build a new school on the south side of town. Amhersts numbers have exploded. You should see their JH numbers.
I wonder why you think this? They travel through FKC schools every time they leave town. It would make the most geographical sense for them.Bertrand will never leave the RPAC.
Agreed. Bertrand would be a natural fit in the FKC with Loomis, Overton, Elm Creek etc.I wonder why you think this? They travel through FKC schools every time they leave town. It would make the most geographical sense for them.
