A Championship History of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference
We will begin a new chapter in the FAVC beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. We will split the conference into two divisions, East and West, with the exception in football, where we will maintain the current three divisions—Buckeye, Cardinal and Scarlet that have been in place since the 2006-2007 school year.
The make-up of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference looks like this: 1965 through 1998—One Division, 1999 through 2005—Two Divisions, and 2006 to the Present—Three Divisions)
