Wisconsin Christian Football Conference
The Wisconsin Christian Football Conference is a former high school football conference in Wisconsin. Composed entirely of private schools, the conference lasted for only two seasons and all of its member schools belonged to the Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association.
History
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. 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. Four schools were affiliated with the Fox Valley Christian Division and three were members of the WIFA Midwest Division. The conference was expected to be a stopgap before its members found affiliations with existing WIAA-member conferences and only lasted for two seasons. Luther Prep joined the Parkland Conference after the 1997 season 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, Edgewood joined the Badger Conference, Manitowoc Lutheran entered the Olympian Conference and Winnebago Lutheran was accepted into the Flyway Conference. St. Mary's Springs also joined the Flyway Conference but became football-only members of the original East Central Conference before its merger with the Flyway Conference in 2001.Conference membership history
