Location of Original Eastern Valley Conference Members

The Eastern Valley Conference, originally known as the Valley 10 Conference, was founded in 2007 from the ashes of the former Valley 8 Conference. Six members from the Valley 8 (Clintonville, Fox Valley Lutheran, Freedom, Little Chute, Waupaca and Xavier) joined with four schools from the shuttered East Central Flyway Conference (Berlin, Omro, Ripon and Winneconne) to form its initial grouping. [1] Aside from Omro leaving the conference in 2010 for membership in the Wisconsin Flyway Conference, [2] the conference's roster stayed intact for its entire eight-year life span. The Eastern Valley Conference was dissolved in 2015, with five of the conference's outgoing members (Clintonville, Fox Valley Lutheran, Freedom, Little Chute and Waupaca) forming half of the new North Eastern Conference. [3] Three schools (Berlin, Ripon and Winneconne) joined the reformed East Central Conference, [4] and Xavier became members of the Bay Conference. [5]
