In July 2017, North Union announced they would leave the MOAC to join the Central Buckeye Conference, possibly as early as 2018.[4]

During the 2019–20 high school basketball season, North Union completed a perfect 21–0 regular season. The Wildcats entered the OHSAA state tournament as the No. 3 seed in the Division III Central District with a chance to win their first district title since 1970.
