Cloverwood Conference

The Cloverwood Conference was formed in 2008 as a partnership between four schools in the Marawood Conference (Abbotsford, Assumption, Athens and Newman Catholic) and six in the Cloverbelt Conference (Augusta, Gilman, Greenwood, Loyal, Owen-Withee and Thorp), and was created to bring together schools of similar size in the region for football competition.^[1] Conference membership remained stable through most of its history with only a few changes to the roster. In 2010 Greenwood joined with Granton on a football cooperative that lasted six seasons.^[2][3] In 2011, Augusta shifted to the Dairyland Conference as a football-only member (they would join as full members three years later) with McDonell Central Catholic in Chippewa Falls taking their place.^[4] They would leave the conference along with Newman Catholic after the 2016 season,^[5] leaving the loop with eight members to end its run.

In February 2019, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association, the WIAA released a sweeping football-only realignment for Wisconsin to commence with the 2020 football season and run on a two-year cycle.^[6] This meant the end for the Cloverwood Conference, as members were dispersed to the Marawood Conference (Abbotsford, Athens, Owen-Withee and Thorp) and Central Wisconsin Conference's small-school (Assumption and Loyal) and eight-player (Gilman and Greenwood) divisions.^[7][8]
