Whitewater Valley Conference

The Whitewater Valley Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned conference based in Fayette, Franklin, Union, and later Henry and Wayne counties in East Central Indiana. The conference was founded in 1940 with eight schools from Fayette, Franklin, and Union Counties, adding two more Franklin County schools to reach 10 members in the early 1940s. ^[1] The conference's last season was in 1967-68,^[2] as the consolidation wave of the 1950s and 1960s would leave the conference with three schools and no suitable replacements in the area, as Straughn became part of Tri in 1968. College Corner, whose location on the border of Indiana and Ohio allowed them to play in both the WVC and the Preble County League in Ohio would return to play in the PCL until joining with Short in Liberty to form Union County in 1974. Whitewater Township would merge into Brookville that same year. Laurel struggled on as an independent for two decades, as they were too far from the two conferences in the general region that featured schools of a similar size and sports offering, the Mid-Hoosier and Ohio River Valley conferences. The school eventually consolidated with Brookville to form Franklin County High School in 1989.
