White River Valley Conference

The White River Valley Conference was a short-lived athletic conference in southwestern Indiana. The conference started off well, sponsoring both varsity and junior varsity contests mainly in basketball and track.[1] However, after three years, Bloomfield would leave to help found the Southwestern Indiana Athletic Conference.[2] The year after, Spencer followed suit. This caused Clay City to rejoin their county conference, leaving the remaining four schools (all in Greene County) to do the same.
