History

The league began with the 1973-74 sports season.[2]

Britton and Deerfield combined all sports starting with the 2009-10 sports season, although they already were combining some sports for several years. Their districts combined on July 1, 2011 into the Britton-Deerfield School District.[3]

In 2018, Whitmore Lake elected to leave the conference in favor of joining the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference for the 2019-2020 season.[4] However, Erie Mason has been invited to and will join the TCC in its place for the 2020-21 athletic year.[5]

In 2019, Clinton announced it would depart the conference and return to Lenawee County Athletic Association beginning in the 2020-21 athletic year.[6] To take their place, Pittsford will join the league in football, bowling, and wrestling only. This move comes as a result of every other member of the Southern Central Athletic Association (SCAA) moving to 8-man football. Pittsford will remain in the SCAA for all other sports.[7]

Since Pittsford is in Hillsdale County, the TCC will once again comprise three counties and the name "Tri-County Conference" will be accurate.

Football

This list goes through the 2020 season.[8]
