The farthest drive would be Crestview an hr, AE, CG, and Bluffton all a half hour or less. Versailles in the MAC has an hr. drive to Delphos. Fort Loramie would be a much further drive than LB for almost all the NWC schools except for Spencerville. These are the 2023 OHSAA football no.s with CB added, LB 174 (cb no. 0f 11 oh boy lot of Lima jocks on LB's football team), Spencerville 168 (Spencerville a cb no. of 18), Bluffton 152, Allen East 148. Coldwater is at 172 majority of the MAC schools are 110 or less. If some posters are scared that LB will dominate you don't want Fort Loramie as a full fledge member (I know they are not going to join as a full fledge member) cause their sports teams overall are just as good if not better than Liberty Benton esp. girls bball and XC. BTW personally wouldn't bother me if Wapak a D3 school joined the MAC, little D6 - D7 Marion Local already plays them in all sports, the Flyers for the most part hold their own. As for the MAC letting LB in the MAC if there was an opening if LB was not so far north, I don't think the MAC would have any problem letting LB in, LCC yes, LB no.
