History

The KMAC was formed in November 2015, when seven schools from the Blue Division of the MOAC (Cardington, Centerburg, East Knox, Fredericktown, Highland, Mount Gilead, and Northmor) announced that they would withdraw from the MOAC to form a new league with Danville of the MBC. [2]

In March 2020, Highland announced they would return to the MOAC for the 2021-22 school year, except for football which would return to the MOAC in 2022. [3] In May 2020, the KMAC announced that Loudonville would become a football-only member of the league beginning in the 2022-23 school year. [4]

In March 2023, Loudonville's Board of Education approved joining the KMAC as a full-fledged member beginning with the 2024-25 school year. [5]

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.
