History

On November 8, 2013, it was announced that Woodstock and Woodstock North planned to leave the Fox Valley Conference by 2015 and create a new conference.^[1] After rumors that members of the Big Northern Conference's East Division might join this new conference, it was announced on November 19 that five BNC members - Burlington Central, Genoa-Kingston, Harvard, Johnsburg (which, at the time, was still in the Fox Valley Conference, but was joining the BNC as the start of the 2014-2015 school year) Marengo, and Richmond-Burton were invited to join the new conference, creating a proposed 8-team conference.^[2] The next day, it was announced that the name for this new conference will be the Kishwaukee River Conference.^[3] In February 2014, it was reported that Harvard and Genoa-Kingston had decided to remain in the BNC, while Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg remained undecided; Harvard later announced that they would, in fact, leave the BNC for the KRC, with the first season of the KRC to be during the 2016-2017 school year.^[4]^[5] In June 2014, Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg both voted to officially become charter members of the KRC in 2016.^[6]^[7]

Notes

↑ The state series class which a school competes in not only depends on the school's student population, but on the sport or activity. Some activities divide schools into two classes, some into three, and others into four. The listing here is in the order of two class, three class, and four class. The more "A"s in a class, the larger the schools competing. For more information on this, see Illinois High School Association#State Series Format.
↑ Schools are not assigned a classification for football until they have qualified for the playoffs each year. A school's classification not only depends on their student population, but on the populations of the other schools who have qualified. Thus, some schools routinely move between classes.
