Collier County Athletic Conference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Collier County Athletic Conference

The Collier County Athletic Conference (CCAC) is made up of seven high schools in Collier County, Florida. The schools involved are:

• Barron Collier High School
• Golden Gate High School
• Gulf Coast High School
• Immokalee High School
• Lely High School
• Naples High School
• Palmetto Ridge High School

The athletic directors in the county had discussed for a number of years the formation of a conference. It was decided that the addition of two new county schools in 2004 raised the number sufficiently to warrant the start of the CCAC. The county athletic directors spent the 2004 - 2005 school year forming the policies to regulate the conference. The athletic directors were:

• Barron Collier HS - Joe Kemper
• Golden Gate HS - Jim Ragusa
• Gulf Coast HS - Larry Sather
• Immokalee HS - Linda Ayer
• Lely HS - Patty Moul
• Naples HS - Ernie Modugno
• Palmetto Ridge HS - Mario Doria

The conference was started to promote competition between the schools in a positive manner and to give student-athletes more opportunity for recognition and awards. It also simplified the scheduling process for the schools by regulating a specific number of contests between each school in every sport.

Conference play between the schools began in the fall of 2005.

The CCAC crowns an all-sports champion at the end of each school year. The champion is determined by a points system based on a school's final standing in each sport. The all-sports champions to date are:

• 2005 - 2006: Barron Collier HS
