Each school year, the SBAAC awards 4 scholarships to deserving graduating seniors who have the opportunity to continue to participate in a sport of their choice in the fall at a college or university. These student-athletes are in need of any money that can help with college expenses. The SBAAC is doing their part to help with this endeavor.

We would like to give you the opportunity to help in this effort. In the "Links to other sites" on the right side of this page, you will see a link to the SBAAC Bud Phillips Scholarship Fund. Please click on that link and make a donation. Any amount will be greatly appreciated!

We congratulate all of our graduating seniors and wish much success for them in the future!

The Southern Ohio Athletic/Academic Conference is celebrating over 100 years of its existence. Formerly the Clermont County League, established in 1919, the league changed its name to the Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference in 1987. This change allowed schools outside of Clermont County to be invited into the league. For a complete History of our league, click on "SBAAC" above and then on "History".

The Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference (SBAAC) is currently comprised of the following schools:  Batavia, Bethel-Tate, Blanchester, Clermont Northeastern, Clinton-Massie, East Clinton, Felicity, Georgetown, Goshen, New Richmond, Western Brown, Williamsburg, and Wilmington. 

The SBAAC website features different sections dedicated to each league sponsored sport with pages dedicated to the standings, schedule, statistics, and team rosters for each of those sports. 

Good luck to all our athletes, coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and parents, who together make the SBAAC one of the best leagues in the state!
