Triton Central joining Hoosier Legends Conference in 2025

Triton Central joined the Indiana Crossroads Conference in 2012. The Hoosier Legends Conference currently has six public schools as members with the goal to add two more in the near future.

Near the end of the spring sports season, Triton Central announced it will join a new athletic conference in the fall of 2026.

That change in the athletic landscape for the Tigers will now come in the fall of 2025, according to Triton Central athletic director Bryan Graham.

The spring announcement that four schools, including Triton Central, were leaving the Indiana Crossroads Conference (ICC) to join with two more schools left remaining ICC schools scrambling.

The decision was then made not to wait until 2026. 

The new conference will include Triton Central, Beech Grove, Monrovia, Speedway – all from the ICC – Indian Creek, currently in the Western Indiana Conference, and Tri-West, a member of the Sagamore Conference. All six schools are public schools.

And the new conference now has a name – Hoosier Legends Conference – with the slogan “Be Legendary.”

“The name ‘Hoosier Legends Conference’ is in honor of all the legendary individuals that have come from our founding schools and communities. Our mission is for our students to ‘Be Legendary’ in their actions, behaviors, and accomplishments,” said a conference representative in a media release.

The logo, designed by David Smith of Pittsboro, Indiana, was created from a meeting with school officials.

“We wanted to come up with something cool, a catchphrase and a logo,” said Graham. “Everybody gave different thoughts and this is what we came up with.”

“The shape of the State of Indiana is in reference to our great state – The Hoosier State,” according to the media release. “The corn emblems are a tribute to the farmers of central Indiana. Every founding member school is represented within the pathway of the line of bricks across the state. The line of bricks themselves is a nod to Speedway and the rich tradition of racing our state holds.”

Each member school will display the logo using their own school colors.

The conference is interested in expanding to eight member schools. Graham confirmed there are currently discussions ongoing with potential new members of the Hoosier Legends Conference.

The remaining four schools in the ICC – Lutheran, Ritter, Scecina and Covenant Christian – will add Greenwood Christian and Heritage Christian in 2025 to make the Indiana Crossroads Conference a conference featuring only private schools.
