Northwest Ohio Athletic League

Beginning in 1926, it is officially the oldest athletic league in the state of Ohio.

The NWOAL members have won a total of 26 team state championships.

Competition between the five dual-league members counted in the standings for both the NWOAL and the NBL.

In 1973, Liberty Center also considered dropping their NWOAL membership solely for the NBL, which led to speculation that Archbold, Montpelier, and Wauseon would do the same in order to avoid competing with Napoleon.

Evident that schools didn't want to play with Napoleon, the Wildcats started to look at other leagues for membership.
