Western Reserve Conference

[1][2] The name is resurrected from three previous incarnations that most recently folded in 2007 when the Northeast Ohio Conference was created.

The conference is named after the Connecticut Western Reserve, which historically included most of Northeast Ohio.

There have been three previous athletic conferences in the region that used the name "Western Reserve".

The conference disbanded in 1948 after its membership had been reduced to just five schools a few years prior.

[3] The second conference to use the Western Reserve name started as the Lake County League in the early 1920s.
