Sangamon Valley Conference
The Sangamon Valley Conference is an IHSA-sanctioned conference in northeastern Illinois established in 1948.[1] The conference hosts primarily 1A-2A schools. It will also become the first Illinois conference to host an Indiana high school, as South Newton of Kentland, Indiana will join from their home state's folding Midwest Athletic Conference.[2]
