The Western North Carolina Athletic Conference (WNCAC), is a North Carolina High School Athletic Association conference which has operated in the western region of North Carolina since August 2009. [1] Prior to January 2011, it was referred to as the Appalachian Athletic Conference. However, a name change was forced when the NCHSAA was hit by a copyright claim from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) which operates a collegiate conference using the same name. [2] The conference currently consists of five 3A schools and three 2A schools. In terms of playoffs, these schools compete in their respective NCHSAA classifications. [3] The current lineup will run through at least June 2017.
