Conference movement: Covenant Christian will join Indiana Crossroads Conference in 2024
Covenant Christian is moving conferences.
The Indiana Crossroads Conference announced Monday that Covenant Christian has accepted membership to the league, starting with the 2024-25 school year. Covenant Christian will replace Cascade, which will rejoin the Western Indiana Conference following the 2023-24 spring sports seasons.
Covenant Christian will join the seven remaining Indiana Crossroads Conference members: Beech Grove, Cardinal Ritter, Lutheran, Monrovia, Scecina, Speedway and Triton Central.
“The ICC is pleased to welcome Covenant Christian as a new member, feeling confident they will accept the task of meeting the goals of the conference,” a statement from the conference said. “The ICC strives for excellence in well-rounded academic and athletic programs. Its membership promotes a friendly understanding in all interschool relations while affirming the belief in growth through academic and athletic challenges. The ICC looks forward to continuing to be focused on making decisions that ensure its members are an education-based, student-focused and competitive environment.”
Covenant Christian, a west side school with an enrollment of 379 students, won its first state championship in any sport with a Class A football state title in 2020. Lutheran won the Class A state championship in 2021 and '22.
The Warriors have been a member of the Indiana High School Athletic Association since 1998. They were members of the Circle City Conference in sports other than football with Bishop Chatard, Brebeuf Jesuit, Guerin Catholic, Heritage Christian (also a member in non-football sports) and Roncalli.
