History

Lua error in Module:OSM_Location_map at line 456: bad argument #1 to 'abs' (number expected, got nil). The Wisconsin Christian Football Conference was formed in 1997 by seven private high schools in Wisconsin: Edgewood, Fox Valley Lutheran, Luther Prep, Manitowoc Lutheran, St. Mary's Springs, Winnebago Lutheran and Xavier.[1] All seven schools previously belonged to the Wisconsin Independent Football Association, a football-only conference associated with WISAA and were preparing to transition into Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association membership by the 2000-01 school year.[2] Four schools were affiliated with the Fox Valley Christian Division (Fox Valley Lutheran, Manitowoc Lutheran, St. Mary's Springs and Xavier) and three were members of the WIFA Midwest Division (Edgewood, Luther Prep and Winnebago Lutheran). The conference was expected to be a stopgap before its members found affiliations with existing WIAA-member conferences[3] and only lasted for two seasons. Luther Prep joined the Parkland Conference after the 1997 season[4] and the remaining six schools disbanded the conference at the conclusion of the 1998 season. Most of the schools' new affiliations were for all sports: Fox Valley Lutheran and Xavier became members of the new Valley 8 Conference,[5] Edgewood joined the Badger Conference,[6][7] Manitowoc Lutheran entered the Olympian Conference[8] and Winnebago Lutheran was accepted into the Flyway Conference.[9] St. Mary's Springs also joined the Flyway Conference but became football-only members of the original East Central Conference[10] before its merger with the Flyway Conference in 2001.[11]
