Siouxland Conference


The Siouxland Conference is a ten team high school athletic conference in the northwest corner of Iowa, consisting of schools ranging from the smallest class (1A) to the second largest class (3A), and known for its prominence in small school basketball.

The Siouxland Conference was founded in 1952 and began play in the 1953-54 school year. Originally the league was made up of Inwood and George from Lyon County, Orange City, Hawarden, and Rock Valley from Sioux County and Akron and Le Mars Gehlen from Plymouth County. West Sioux of Hawarden left the conference in 1965, and rejoined for a short period in the 1970s.Sioux Center and Central Lyon of Rock Rapids joined the conference in 1967. Akron withdrew from the league at the conclusion of the 1975 baseball season. The league then went through a set of changes in the early 1990s when it added Sibley-Ocheyedan from the Lakes Conference, and Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn and Okoboji High School from the disbanded Sioux Valley Conference. Maurice-Orange City merged with Floyd Valley to become MOC-Floyd Valley in 1994. Following this flurry of change, Little Rock merged with George to become George-Little Rock in 1989. The conference remained the same until Hartley-Mevin-Sanborn left for the War Eagle Conference in 2009 and longtime Sibley-Ocheyedan rival Sheldon moved in from the Lakes Conference.
