Fox Valley Association
The Fox Valley Association Conference is an athletic conference comprising high schools in northeastern Wisconsin along the Fox Valley. The management of the conference is vested in the principals of the member schools, who determine the rules governing the eligibility of athletes and the schedules. Rules and regulations may not be less restrictive than those of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association. The Conference was formed in 1970 when the Appleton Area teams split from the Fox River Valley Conference teams & joined up with Suburban Fox Valley teams. Appleton North Joined the ranks when the school was built in 1995. In 2010, The Wisconsin Valley Conference needed assistance in football scheduling. Therefore, the WIAA merged both conferences to form the Valley Football Association. Due to the conference subsequently having 16 teams and thus the inability to have all teams play one another in a two-month period, the conference was forced to split into two divisions: North & South.

“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
