Some More On CHL History
Today, there are 18 league recognized sports in the CHL. Sixteen of those started in the 1985-86 school year when the league formed. Which two came later and what year did they begin?
Bonus question... Which sport has been dominated by one team since the start of the league?
Boys' & girls' swimming & diving became a league sport in the 1999-2000 school year becoming the 17th & 18th recognized sport in the CHL.
The sport that has been dominated by one team is boys' tennis. Indian Hill has won 24 of 25 league titles. The only time the Braves were not on top was the 2008-2009 school year when Wyoming was champ.

We will need about 59,000 visits this month to reach the 700,000 mark for the year (our year is August 1st to July 31st)

How Much Do You Know About The CHL? Answer...
The Cincinnati Hills League was formed at the start of the 1985-1986 school year. There were nine charter members. Seven of those are current league members. Name the two schools that dropped out of the league and the one current member that joined the league after 1985.
Taylor joined the CHL in 1989 to make it a ten school league. Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education (CAPE) & Loveland were charter members of the CHL. At the end of the 1993-94 school year, CAPE dissolved as a school. At the end of the 1994-95 year, Loveland joined the FAVC, where they are still a member today. So the league has not changed schools since the beginning of the 1995-96 school year.
