The Birth of the Central State 8 Conference - Episode 1

It's 1992 in Springfield, Illinois. SHG is an independent, traveling across the Illinois for games. The 3 city public schools are members of the Peoria-based, Mid State-9 Conference. The average attendance at Memorial stadium is at its lowest since 1981. City support is stretched thin. There is too much talent in the city of Springfield for this to continue. Parents and supporters in the community push the school board to do... well anything.
