Another LHS Conference Switch?

[Michael Deneen]

I'm hearing that LHS is about to switch athletic affiliation from the West Shore Conference to the Southwest Conference.

The SWC includes Westlake, North Olmsted, Olmsted Falls, Avon Lake, Berea/Midpark, Brecksville and Amherst. Avon has already announced that they are switching, too.

This would be the third conference change since leaving the LEL in 2007.
The Rangers have become the high school equivalent of TCU.

The new league offers better competition than the current one, which consists of much smaller schools.

Anyone have opinions?

Thanks for the update.
