The Hoosier Legends Conference (HLC) is an eight-member IHSAA-sanctioned conference that began competition in the fall of 2025. The conference comprises suburban and rural schools from Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Morgan, and Shelby counties.
The formation of the Hoosier Legends Conference was initiated by Tri-West after conference realignment within the Sagamore Conference brought higher enrollment schools from the Lafayette Metro Area. Tri-West left the conference due to competitive balance and enrollment shifts within the conference.
On August 14, 2024, the Hoosier Legends Conference was announced as Tri-West welcomed Beech Grove, Indian Creek, Monrovia, Speedway, and Triton Central. On October 17, 2024, Shelbyville announced their intention of joining the Hoosier Legends Conference, followed by Greenwood on October 22. All schools officially joined at the beginning of the 2025-26 academic year due to the IHSAA 2-year grace period rule for the protection of the conferences the schools are leaving.
