Since the OHSAA began basketball competition in 1922-23, many schools have decided to band together in conferences to help scheduling, added competition for titles and bragging rights, and oftentimes help determine seeding for the early rounds of the state tournament. Some conferences had been established for football-playing schools, and as schools added other sports, adopted those under the conference banner once enough schools started playing. Smaller schools often picked up basketball first, adding other sports later, and combined with other in-county schools to form County conferences. Most of these leagues were formed in the 1920s and early 1930s after the tournament was started, which is why quite a few lack a definitive starting date at this point in time.
