Firelands Conference


The Firelands Conference is an Ohio High School Athletic Association athletic league located in north-central Ohio. The league was formed in the 1960-61 school year and is named for the Firelands area of the old Western Reserve, where most of the member schools reside. High schools in this conference are located in Ashland, Huron, and Richland counties. Some of the schools' district boundaries extend into the neighboring counties of Crawford, Erie, and Lorain. Most of the founding schools came from the defunct Huron-Erie League.
