The Hoosier Crossroads Conference is a member conference of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. Teams first competed in the conference in the 2000-2001 school year. The HCC contains eight high schools in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area. There are two schools in Hendricks County, one in Boone County, four in Hamilton County, and one in Marion County.
History
The conference started in 2000, as the West division of the Olympic Conference (Brownsburg, Hamilton Southeastern, Harrison, McCutcheon, and Noblesville) joined with two schools from the folding Rangeline Conference (Westfield and Zionsville) and one from the Mid-State Conference (Avon). Lafayette Jeff joined in 2004 from the North Central Conference, and Fishers joined upon reopening in 2006.
In December 2012, the Indianapolis-area schools met and voted to cut ties with the Tippecanoe County schools after the 2013-14 school year due to transportation costs, travel time, differences in school size and competitive balance. The Lafayette area schools joined the North Central Conference.{{cite web |date=2013-02-11 |title=Harrison, Lafayette Jeff, and McCutcheon Invited to Join NCC |url=http://www.jconline.com/article/20130211/SPORTS01/302110026/North-Central-Conference-Harrison-Lafayette-Jeff-McCutcheon |access-date=2013-06-30 |publisher=Lafayette Journal-Courier}}
In March 2017, the conference schools met to decide on letting an eighth member into the conference, Franklin Central. On March 15, 2017 the HCC decided to admit the Franklin Central Flashes into the HCC beginning the 2018-2019 school year.
Member schools
All schools are 6A in football, 3A in soccer, and 4A in all other class sports.
