All five schools in Greene County are members of the SWIAC (Southwestern Indiana Athletic Conference), along with North Central, Clay City, and North Daviess schools.

 

The SWIAC has a long history, per an Indiana Basketball Digest contributor:

  • 1939 – The SWIAC conference is founded by eight schools
    (of those, only Bloomfield, Loogootee, and Shoals exist in their current state).
  • Members (8): Bloomfield, Ellettsville, Loogootee, Montgomery (Barr Twp), Oolitic, Plainville, Shoals, West Baden.
  • The next twenty years are pretty fuzzy. At some point before 1958, Montgomery/BT, Plainville, Shoals, and West Baden had left. Spencer and Switz City Central had joined by then, probably from the White River Valley Conference. Needmore, Odon, Shawswick, and Worthington joined by that time as well.
  • 1958 Members (10): Bloomfield, Ellettsville, Loogootee, Needmore, Odon, Oolitic, Shawswick, Spencer, Switz City, Worthington.
  • 1962- Shoals rejoined, and Eastern Greene joined as a virtually new school. I have the teams split into theoretical divisions (probably were not actually used in standings) to keep things more readable.North Members (6): Bloomfield, Eastern Greene, Ellettsville, Spencer, Switz City, Worthington.
  • South Members (6): Loogootee, Needmore, Odon, Oolitic, Shawswick, Spencer, Shoals.
  • 1964- Ellettsville is consolidated into Edgewood.North Members (6): Bloomfield, Eastern Greene, Edgewood, Spencer, Switz City, Worthington.
  • South Members (6): Loogootee, Needmore, Odon, Oolitic, Shawswick, Spencer, Shoals.
  • 1968- Odon (as part of North Daviess) leaves to form the Blue Chip Conference while Bloomfield plays in both the BCC and SWIAC. Shakamak joins, becoming the first member to be part of both the SWIAC and Tri-River conferences at the same time, and L&M also joins.North Members (7): Bloomfield, Eastern Greene, Edgewood, Shakamak, Spencer, Switz City, Worthington.
  • South Members (6): L&M, Loogootee, Needmore, Oolitic, Shawswick, Spencer, Shoals.
  • 1970- Three schools leave. Edgewood and Spencer (as part of Owen Valley) form the West Central Conference, and Loogootee joins the Blue Chip.Members (10): Bloomfield, Eastern
