Mavs, Raiders, Bronchos NCC-bound?

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Three Tippecanoe County schools have been contacted by the North Central Conference about the possibility of joining the NCC. The contact by the NCC to Lafayette Jeff, McCutcheon, and Harrison was confirmed Tuesday by the school's respective principals in a letter emailed to several media outlets, including WLFI.

The letter sent by Lafayette Jeff principal Jeff Studebaker, McCutcheon principal John Beeker, and Harrison principal Doug Lesley states, "As the events of the past several months have unfolded it has become very clear that the metro-Indianapolis schools in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference (HCC) have been engaged in serious discussions pertaining to their continued participation within the conference."

"The ensuing instability with the HCC has caused several conferences in central Indiana to evaluate their needs and circumstances. On Wednesday, November 14, 2012, Harrison High School, Jefferson High School, and McCutcheon High School were all individually contacted by the North Central Conference (NCC). The purpose of the contact was to inform those three schools that the North Central Conference is interested in discussing expansion of their conference. Further, they wanted to share that if we are interested in discussing the expansion with them that we should send them a letter of intent to discuss that expansion with them."

"Harrison, Jefferson, and McCutcheon have all sent the NCC letters stating that we are willing to discuss a possible expansion of their conference. It should be emphasized that at this point, that Harrison, Jefferson, McCutcheon, and the North Central Conference have only decided to speak with one another about a possible expansion of the NCC...no other decisions have been reached."

Current schools in the NCC include Logansport, Kokomo, Anderson, and Muncie Central.

Harrison, Lafayette Jeff, and McCutcheon are currently members of the HCC.
