News release from the Summit Athletic Conference (SAC):
Summit Athletic Conference Welcomes Carroll & Homestead
(December 20, 2013) – The Summit Athletic Conference announced today that it has invited Carroll and Homestead high schools to join the conference as a member of all three levels of football and boys’ and girls’ basketball. The schools are joining on a two-year probationary period where full membership would be considered beginning in 2017.
“We are excited to welcome Carroll and Homestead to the SAC as probationary members,” said Carlton Mable, South Side High School Principal and Commissioner of the Summit Athletic Conference. “The SACS is recognized as a strong athletic conference and bringing in two more Allen County schools only makes us stronger.”
The addition of the Carroll and Homestead will fill out conference schedules, which means SAC teams will have fewer non-conference spots to fill, resulting in less traveling outside of the area. The first conference games including Carroll and Homestead will be in August 2015.
