The Lower Fox Conference was formed in 1933 by five small high schools in southeastern Wisconsin: East Troy, Mukwonago, Racine County Agricultural, Waterford and Wilmot Union.[1] All original members with the exception of East Troy belonged to the Southeastern Wisconsin Conference for other sports, which did not sponsor football at that time. Fellow SEC members Union Grove and Williams Bay joined in 1934,[2] and the conference maintained its seven-member lineup until its last season was played in 1936. The Southeastern Wisconsin Conference began sponsorship of football in the 1937 season, with six of the seven members of the Lower Fox Conference becoming members.[3] Williams Bay, the only holdout, transitioned to six-man football and joined the Southern Regional Conference along with Clinton and Darien.[4]
