The **Sandusky Bay Conference** is a high school athletic conference in the Sandusky Bay area of north central [Ohio](/source/Ohio). It is affiliated with the [Ohio High School Athletic Association](/source/Ohio_High_School_Athletic_Association).

## Members

The SBC has 22 full members schools located within [Erie](/source/Erie_County,_Ohio), [Huron](/source/Huron_County,_Ohio), [Ottawa](/source/Ottawa_County,_Ohio), [Sandusky](/source/Sandusky_County,_Ohio), and [Seneca](/source/Seneca_County,_Ohio) counties.

- **2024**: In January 2024, **Northwood** and the SBC announced that the Rangers would be joining the River Division for the 2025–26 school year.[13] Northwood had been a member of the [Toledo Area Athletic Conference](/source/Toledo_Area_Athletic_Conference) since 2000. The SBC River will then be split into a North Division (Danbury, Gibsonburg, Northwood, SJCC, SMCC, and Woodmore) and a South Division (Calvert, Hopewell-Loudon, Lakota, New Riegel, and Old Fort).

### Conference split

On February 11, 2025, it was reported that the school boards at ten of the Lake and Bay division schools (Clyde, Columbian, Norwalk, Perkins, and Sandusky of the Lake along with Bay members Bellevue, Edison, Huron, Port Clinton, and Vermilion) were going to vote to withdraw from the SBC and begin their own league with two divisions for the convenience of scheduling.[14] On May 7, these schools announced they would begin play in the 2026-2027 school year as the [Northern Ohio Conference](/source/Northern_Ohio_Conference_(OHSAA)).[15] The River division will retain the SBC name going forward.
