Blanchard Valley Conference (OHSAA)

The Blanchard Valley Conference is an Ohio High School Athletic Association affiliated athletic league located in Hancock, Putnam, Seneca, and Wood Counties in northwest Ohio. Its name derives from the Blanchard River, which runs through the area in which the schools are located. Findlay, which is part of the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, is the only high school in Hancock County that is a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association that is not part of the BVC.

The BVC is well known for being a power conference for girls volleyball and basketball. In the last few years, Pandora-Gilboa, Leipsic, & McComb have been ranked within the top 5 range and finishing within top 5. Liberty-Benton has also contributed to the power of the conference in Division 3 the last few years. Some recent seasons in which a Blanchard Valley School finished with a perfect season record in volleyball included 2011 when Leipsic finished 22-0 and won both the BVC and PCL titles. McComb also finished with an undefeated season in 2013 and 2014. In 2014, McComb finished as the OHSAA State-Runners-up.

Girls Basketball is huge in the BVC too. Within the last few years, Liberty Benton has won a state title and runners up title, Arlington has won a state title, Riverdale was a final for contender, and Pandora-Gilboa and Arcadia were regional runners-up.

Three schools of the possible four wanted joined the BVC in 2014. This expansion was nicknamed the "Liberty-Benton membership-extension addition" because of the size of (an) additional school(s) is "keeping Liberty-Benton in the conference." Supporting Evidence of this nickname comes from Liberty-Benton officials commenting on spectator and media statements of the school needing to apply for a new conference because of the school is placed in Division V for football as all other schools in the conference were only in Division VII. School Officials said the school would have to look for a new conference by 2016 if the expansion didn't pass.
