At first i think the OG plan was the conference to be Winamac, West Central, Caston, Pioneer, North White, Knox, North Judson and Culver.
West Central drug their feet and North White initially thought the HNAC wasn't gonna happen. West Central thought about it. NW said no.. Then once everything was taking shape.. West Central finally jumped in, NW asked to be put in but was told no after LaVille and Triton swooped in without hesitation basically.
Caston could compete in that original HNAC but once Triton and LaVille joined... Itd be a struggle.
Frontier, TC and SN threw a major hissy fit when we all separated. Not sure if they'd let Caston back in and Caston would have to eat a lot of crow.
