History
The Allen County Athletic Conference (ACAC) began with eight schools from Adams (Adams Central), Allen (Carroll, Heritage, Leo, Woodlan), DeKalb (Eastside), Wells (Norwell), and Whitley (Churubusco) Counties. The conference went to a two division format in 1971 with the addition of Homestead and Southern Wells, new schools formed by consolidation. That format ended in 1975, and since then the conference has been between seven and nine teams, with the current lineup's only change since 1989 being the addition of Garrett in 2005. Jay County will join the conference beginning with the 2014-15 school year.
