Northwest Hoosier Conference Explained

The Northwest Hoosier Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned conference based in northwestern Indiana. The conference was started by five schools in 1968, and faced numerous membership changes during its span. The far-flung conference folded in 1998, when four of its members joined other leagues, and the other three schools were unable to find suitable replacements.
