Prairie Conference (IHSAA)

The Prairie Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned conference located in Northwest Indiana. The conference played at least in the mid-1950s (at latest), and lasted until 1968, when four of its member schools consolidated into Benton Central, which had formed just two years earlier from two other conference schools. The conference was primarily based in Benton County, with nearby schools in Jasper, Newton, Tippecanoe, and later White counties also participating.^[1]
