All-American Conference

This article is about the Ohio sports division. For the professional American football league, see All-America Football Conference.

The All-American Conference is an OHSAA-sanctioned league created in 2008 from the merger of the Trumbull Athletic Conference and the Metro Athletic Conference (formerly the Mahoning Valley Conference).^[1] The only schools that declined to participate in the merger was the MAC's East Liverpool and the TAC's Brookfield, with Beaver Local joining. The conference will undergo a major change in 2014, as five schools join, and a sixth, Pymatuning Valley, had applied and was accepted, but the move was voted down by their school board.^[2]
