Four members of the Northeast Ohio Conference have applied for membership to the Suburban League and league officials expect to make a decision on the matter this week.
However, even if the Suburban League does not extend membership, several NOC schools still may be on the move.
The Suburban League is reviewing two proposals: one to allow Nordonia to join alone and one to allow Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson and Stow-Munroe Falls to join the league together.
If the three-school move to the Suburban League is turned down, Stow-Munroe Falls athletic director Cyle Feldman said he is working on another option: forming a new league.
"I've also been conducting meetings with Stow, Falls, Hudson, Barberton, Twinsburg and Nordonia," Feldman said.
"We could get together here. That's a pretty good six. Those discussions are continuing."
Cuyahoga Falls City Schools superintendent Dr. Edwin Holland said he feels all options -- including the reformation of the Western Reserve Conference -- are on the table.
Neither Nordonia Athletic director Rob Eckenrode nor Twinsburg athletic director Mike Silverthorn seemed to indicate the idea had much momentum at this point.
"We've talked about things; nothing has come to fruition," Silverthorn said. "A lot of things have to occur for something like that to take place. As of right now, I don't think anything is going to happen."
Twinsburg is happy with its place in the NOC, he said.
"I see us staying there," Silverthorn said. "We've been very successful in a lot our sports since joining. It's a testament to what we're doing here with our coaches."
