In 1992, three years after the Mid-Wach was formed, Westford Academy left for the Dual County League for more recognition and a chance to fit in better with the other schools. [4] In 1995 Murdock High School joined bringing the number of schools in the Mid-Wach back to twenty-two members. A year later, The Mid-Wach admitted Bromfield, Tahanto, and West Boylston all from the Dual Valley League, which brought the total membership up to an even twenty-five. [5] It wasn't until 2011 where the league changed again, this time admitting Tyngsborough from the Dual County, who was outclassed in most sports in the DCL. [6] A year later, longtime member Milford elected to leave for the Hockomock League, citing travel expenses as one of the main reasons for the move. [7] Finally, in 2013 Shepherd Hill joined looking for better competition than what they had in the Southern Worcester County League. [8]
