LHAC going up in flames?
Re: LHAC going up in flames?
Heard that the word from Windber is they are staying in LHAC. They are open to the competition.
Re: LHAC going up in flames?
The Heritage Conference will have 11 teams in 23-24. I would not be surprised to see one of the LHAC’s newer teams to end up there. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised to see as many as three of those teams to end up there.

Re: LHAC going up in flames?
Good call knowitall.. Conemaugh Township's board is voting tonight on heading to the Heritage instead. North Star would be wise to follow Conemaugh's lead and head to the Heritage as well, they would struggle mightily in the LHAC and I'm guessing there would be more travel distance in the ICC. I believe Township would put the Heritage at 12 but it sure looks like conferences are willing to accept anyone who fits their structure (enrollment wise). I would think Windber tries to stick with the LHAC with their proximity and natural rivalries although their athletic talent thins out quickly over the next couple years.

Re: LHAC going up in flames?
Does it make any sense for the LHAC to now merge with the Mountain League since it looks like the super conference is dead? I believe their intention was to help out the Somerset County West-Pacs, and it grew from there. I don't see any benefit to keep this thing going.
Re: LHAC going up in flames?
Hearing Bellwood May stay in the ICC now rather than become the small fish in the big pond….anyone else hear the same?
Probably a smart move if the West PAC schools are opting out of the LHAC.

Re: LHAC going up in flames?
Agreed, Col. I thought back in the beginning of this movement that it was to be an all-or-nothing change for the LHAC, dependent on every school that was asked, to join. Now it's a whichever way the wind blows today situation.Colonel Mustard wrote: ↑April 11th, 2022, 3:58 pm Does it make any sense for the LHAC to now merge with the Mountain League since it looks like the super conference is dead?

It ain't over until it's over.
Re: LHAC going up in flames?
It’s official. Conemaugh Township is heading to the Heritage Conference in 2023.
North Star is joining the ICC.
The WestPAC may try to continue on as a conference without football.

Re: LHAC going up in flames?
With the addition of Windber, Bellwood-Antis, and Tyrone does that put the LHAC at 15 teams as of right now?
