The Little Illini Conference is a high school athletic conference in East Central Illinois that is a member of the Illinois High School Association. A group of small schools near the Indiana border, Little Illini is known for its strong football squads, in particular Casey-Westfield, who has won one state football championship [1]
History
The conference also has been strong in volleyball in recent years, with Cumberland reaching the Class 1A final four three straight times from 2008-2010. Edwards County took third place in Class 1A in 2007.
As of the upcoming 2014-2015 school year, Cumberland, Palestine-Hutsonville and Oblong have left the Little Illini Conference to join the Little Okay Valley Conference in central Illinois. A new addition will be welcomed into the LIC this year. Taylorville will take Paris High Schools spot in the Apollo Conference, as the Paris Tigers will be joining the LIC for the 2014-2015 school year. Newton, Olney and Robinson are familiar with Paris, as all 4 schools were in the Apollo Conference before moving into the Little Illini Conference.
Edwards County will be leaving for the Black Diamond Conference as a full time member in 2016-2017. They became an affiliate member in the BDC for baseball and softball from 2014/2015-2015/2016
