The All-American Conference is currently based out of the Trumbull-Mahoning Counties area, and presently consists of five OHSAA member schools: Austintown-Fitch Falcons, Boardman Spartans, Canfield Cardinals, Howland Tigers, and Warren G. Harding Raiders.
Beginning with the 2026 academic year, all sports will undergo a transition, except football, which is scheduled to join in 2027.
As of press time, messages were left for Terrie Horn, the Athletic Director of Louisville, but no response was received.
