GHS set to join new athletic conference
The rumored move of Greencastle to a new, as-yet-unnamed athletic conference became official Monday evening.
The Greencastle school board voted unanimously in favor of accepting an invitation to the new conference, where county rival North Putnam has already cast its lot.
With the announcement, Greencastle will exit the Western Indiana Conference.
Plans for the new conference were announced this spring, with North Putnam joining five schools set to exit the Sagamore Conference — Southmont, Crawfordsville, North Montgomery, Western Boone and Frankfort.
Remaining Sagamore Conference members Lebanon, Tri-West and Danville will retain the Sagamore name.
Meanwhile, Cascade voted to join the new conference earlier this month, leading to much speculation about Greencastle’s fate. The Cadets had been set to re-join the WIC prior to that announcement.
The new conference is set to begin play in 2025-26.
