LAUREL — When Crofton left the Northeast Nebraska Activities Conference for the MidStates Conference the school’s administration could not have known that the move would generate a chain reaction and change the face of high school activities conferences in northeast Nebraska.
After Crofton made their move to the MidStates official last year, the NENAC was left to search for new members or continue with the seven remaining schools: Creighton, Elkhorn Valley, Laurel-Concord/Coleridge, Neligh-Oakdale, Plainview, Randolph, and West Holt.
However, conference officials have confirmed that 2012-2013 will be the last year for NENAC.
