(6-26-23) This season the Summit Athletic Conference (SAC) football teams are jumping into the deep end …the first two weeks will now be non-conference games. After years of every SAC game being against a conference member the coaches decided they wanted a change.

This year the SAC will have two divisions to accommodate the scheduling changes –

Some schedule highlights…

Carroll who came from behind to beat Hamilton Southeastern in a 2022 Indiana 6A semistate game 21-15 will start the season in a rematch game against the Royals, it is a tough way to open the season for the Chargers.

Bishop Dwenger will play D I State Runner-Up Ohio powerhouse Moeller…the Crusaders next two game are also against teams from Indiana, East Central (Indiana 4A State Champion) and Center Grove (Indiana 6A State Champion).

There are several teams facing SAC members in the first two weeks…New Haven will play Northrop and Bishop Luers, East Noble will play Bishop Luers and Snider, Warren Central will play Snider and Carroll.

One game between SAC members will be between Wayne and Northrop and it will not be a conference game.

The outcome of this first season will show if the move to see what the SAC can do outside the conference will be made known at the end of the year.
