. If a conference had members that span multiple regions, the conference is placed in the article of the region most of its former members hail from. Because the names of localities and their corresponding high schools do not always match and because there is often a possibility of ambiguity with respect to either the name of a locality or the name of a high school, the following table gives both in every case, with the locality name first, in plain type, and the high school name second in boldface type. The school's team nickname is given last.

All-American Athletic Conference

This short-lived conference began when Hubbard left the Mahoning Valley Conference to join with four defectors from the Steel Valley Conference (leaving the SVC in a weakened state, with only four schools remaining). When Western Reserve closed in 1990, Hubbard and Warren Harding rejoined their former conferences, while Howland and Niles McKinley followed Hubbard into the MVC. * Warren Harding Panthers (1986–90, to Steel Valley) * Howland Tigers (1986–90, to Mahoning Valley) * Hubbard Eagles (1986–90, to Mahoning Valley) * Niles McKinley Dragons (1986–90, to Mahoning Valley) * Warren Western Reserve Raiders (1986–90, consolidated into Warren Harding)

All-American Conference (Football)

This football-only conference featured six schools in northeastern Ohio, with some of the strongest gridiron teams in the state. Some of the schools also competed in the Ohio Big 8 League for other sports. The league lasted 16 seasons, and broke up primarily because of the dominance of Massillon Washington. * Warren Harding Panthers (1963–79) * Canton

Those three Cuyahoga County Conference schools also experienced greater enrollment increases than the smaller schools in their conference. They also had proximity to I-71, as well as the newly constructed I-271. Although Highland is often mentioned in association with the league, it was never in the conference. They played in the Inland Conference (1958-1976) before joining the Suburban League in 1977. Many Chippewa Conference schools included Highland in their non-conference schedules among several sports.

Cuyahoga County Conference/League

The initial CCL split into the Eastern Cuyahoga County League and West Side Cuyahoga County League (later the East and West County Leagues) in 1929. Various defections from within the county led to a short reformation of the league in 1954. The East and West leagues were revived two years later. Further defections to other leagues led to neither league being stable, and they revived the county league (now under the CCC banner) in 1964.

Warrensville Heights was also growing in enrollment and joined another Cleveland area league with schools closer in size. Smaller schools like Brooklyn, Cuyahoga Heights, Independence and Lutheran West later joined the Inland Conference. The three public schools were limited in potential enrollment increase because their city limits were no longer expandable. They were also near I-480, making travel among their new Inland Conference opponents easier, and their competition consisted of schools similar in enrollment. Richmond Heights had the same city limit growth issues and left for the East Suburban Conference early on.

Inland Conference

The Inland Conference formed in 1957 with 8 members. Brookside left in 1970 and was replaced by Lutheran West. Highland left in 1976 and was eventually replaced by Independence. Brooklyn and Cuyahoga Heights joined in 1979/1980 and the league was divided into an East Division (Brooklyn, Buckeye, Cuyahoga Heights, Independence, Lutheran West) and a West Division (Avon, Columbia, Firelands, Keystone, South Amherst). Season ending conference championship games in most sports were played between the winners of each division, to crown the overall conference champion. Avon, Firelands and Keystone left at the end of the 1985–86 school year and began play in the newly formed Lorain County Conference in the Fall of 1986. The remaining Inland Conference schools returned to the one division format, until the league dissolved at the end of the 1988–89 school year, one year after South Amherst was absorbed by Firelands. All remaining members, except Buckeye, joined the newly formed Metropolitan Athletic Conference in the Fall of 1989. * Avon Eagles (1957–1986) -- Left after Spring 1986 to join the Lorain County Conference * Sheffield Brookside Cardinals (1957–1970) -- Left after Spring of 1970 to join the Lakeland Conference * Medina Buckeye Bucks (1957–1989) -- Became an independent when the Inland Conference dissolved * Columbia Station Columbia Raiders (1957–1989) -- Joined the Metropolitan Athletic Conference in Fall of 1989 * Oberlin Firelands Falcons (1957–1986) -- Left after Spring 1986 to join the Lorain County Conference * Medina Highland Hornets (1957–1976) -- Left after Spring of 1976 to join the Suburban League * LaGrange Keystone Wildcats (1957–1986) -- Left after Spring 1986 to join the Lorain County Conference * South Amherst Cavaliers (1957–1988) -- Merged with Firelands in 1988 * Rocky River Lutheran West Longhorns (1970–1989) -- Joined the Metropolitan Athletic Conference in Fall of 1989 * Cuyahoga Heights Redskins (1979-1989) -- Joined the Metropolitan Athletic Conference in Fall of 1989 * Brooklyn Hurricanes (1979–1989) -- Joined the Metropolitan Athletic Conference in Fall of 1989 * Independence Blue Devils (1979–1989) -- Joined the Metropolitan Athletic Conference in Fall of 1989 Source:

Lorain County League/Conference

Originally began in 1924 as one of the small-school county leagues, the league survived the consolidation wave until 1961, when the schools who weren't already aligned with the Inland Conference joined the Lakeland Conference. The conference revived itself in 1986, as the Lakeland collapsed, and the schools banded together for roughly two decades until the schools split, this time to help form the Patriot Athletic and West Shore conferences.

Patriots (2003-2007) This conference's growth was the result of major changes due such as population growth/shift, proximity to interstate corridors and the potential for greater natural border rivalries . The first was the mid/late 1970s where schools located south of the first ring suburbs near or through the I-71 corridor were realizing unprecedented growth. The conference's six charter members had outgrown their respective leagues. Berea and Midpark, both in the heart of the I-71 corridor, followed suit in 1979. During the 1980s Wadsworth, a member with strong athletic programs despite smaller enrollment, left for the Suburban League where opponents along the US-224 and I-76/I-94 corridors made better natural border rivalries. Cloverleaf followed suit in the late 1990s due to stagnation in its enrollment and its inability to maintain its programs at competitive levels in the PC. Conversely, Medina, also along the corridor, joined the PC in 1986 because of its unprecedented growth and the greater natural border rivalries among the league's charter members. The final shift was the early 2000s where first-ring south/west Cleveland suburbs found the charter PC members were now larger, more suitable opponents and closer in proximity; saving some travel among Lake Erie League opponents of years past. Lorain County schools, Elyria and North Ridgeville, were looking for closer, competitive opponents as an alternative to the continued shrinking of Lorain City and Sandusky schools. Their proximity to I-80 and I-480 made the jump to the PC more viable. This conference was a powerhouse in all sports and it was also the foundation of the Cleveland area's first suburban mega-conference, the NEO Conference, whose format was patterned after similar mega-conferences formed in Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati suburbs.
