The Six Rivers Conference was formed in 1997 through the merger of two smaller conferences in southwestern Wisconsin: the Black Hawk League and the State Line League. [1] It was named after the six rivers located in the conference's catchment area (Mississippi, Grant, Sugar, Platte, Fever and Pecatonica). [2] The conference was originally conceived as an umbrella organization, and its original divisional alignment reflects this: [3]
| Black Hawk Division | State Line Division |
|---|---|
| Belmont | Albany |
| Benton | Argyle |
| Cassville | Barneveld |
| Highland | Belleville |
| Potosi | Black Hawk |
| River Ridge | Juda |
| Shullsburg | Monticello |
| New Glarus | |
| Pecatonica |
After the first two seasons, the league realigned itself into two eight-member divisions. Pecatonica joined with the other Black Hawk Division schools in the Western Division while the remainder of the State Line Division schools comprised the new Eastern Division: [4]
| Eastern Division | Western Division |
|---|---|
| Albany | Belmont |
| Argyle | Benton |
| Barneveld | Cassville |
| Belleville | Highland |
| Black Hawk | Pecatonica |
| Juda | Potosi |
| Monticello | River Ridge |
| New Glarus | Shullsburg |
This alignment remained in place until 2006, when the two largest schools in the conference (Belleville and New Glarus) left the Six Rivers to join more similarly-sized schools the Capitol Conference. [5] Pecatonica rejoined their State Line League brethren in the conference's Eastern Division to create two seven-member divisions in an alignment that continues to this day: [6]
| Eastern Division | Western Division |
|---|---|
| Albany | Belmont |
| Argyle | Benton |
| Barneveld | Cassville |
| Black Hawk | Highland |
| Juda | Potosi |
| Monticello | River Ridge |
| Pecatonica | Shullsburg |
Because of the size of the Six River Conference's member schools, there are a large number of cooperative programs in certain sports, especially football. A significant number of football-playing members do so as cooperative programs with larger schools in other conferences in the area (i.e. Brodhead-Juda, Mount Horeb-Barneveld, New Glarus-Monticello), although the Six Rivers itself does sponsor football.
