Gillespie, Staunton could return to SCC
While nothing is official just yet, it appears that major changes are in store for the South Central Conference for the second time in three years. Gillespie and Staunton, both charter members of the SCC, elected to leave the South Central for the Prairie State three years ago giving two years notice. The 2009-10 school year is the first year that both teams are competing in the PSC. However, that may change with both schools returning for the 2012-13 school year.
The change is being spurred by a couple of factors. The first is the desire of schools to eliminate travel. The second occurred in March when the consolidated district of Virden and Girard voted to leave the Prairie State for the Sangamo Conference beginning in two years. Even with Bunker Hill joining the PSC next year, it would leave just seven schools and eliminate the current agreement in football for cross-over games with the Sangamo. What that means is that Prairie State members would be scrambling to find three non-conference games every year. That could mean considerable travel or matchups with schools much larger just to get 9 games on the schedule.
