Little Eight Conference (IHSAA)

The Little 8 Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned conference from 1955 to 1964. The league included schools from Hendricks, Morgan, and Putman counties.[1] The beginning of the end was 1963, when New Winchester closed,[2] followed by three more schools the next year, effectively folding the conference.
