There’s been at least one member of either the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference or Western Illinois Valley Conference in the Class 1A State Championship game every year since 2015.

So it’s no surprise that based on the four teams remaining (two from the NUIC, two from the WIVC) that a collison course between the two leagues is once again about to happen.

But there’s one step before that and both leagues have some inter-conference scores to settle before it does.

Stockton served notice early in the season with a win over Lena-Winslow in the regular season. Neither Brown County nor Calhoun was the WIVC representative most thought would be in this situation.
