History

Perspective
The Scenic Bluffs Conference was formed in 1979 when the larger Scenic Central Conference split into two smaller conferences from its existing Northern and Southern divisions.[1] The core of the Scenic Bluffs membership came from the Northern Division of the former Scenic Central (Bangor, Brookwood, Cashton, Hillsboro, New Lisbon and Wonewoc-Center). Necedah joined from the Central State Conference, and Royall (who had previously been a Scenic Central member) joined from the Coulee Conference to round out the Scenic Bluffs Conference's membership roster.[2] The roster of full members has not experienced any changes over the history of the conference.
Football
The Scenic Bluffs Conference has sponsored football throughout its history, starting with the eight original members of the conference. After Brookwood dropped their football program after the 1979 season,[3] the conference dropped to seven members for football until De Soto moved over from the Ridge & Valley Conference as football-only members for the 1982 season.[4] They would play in the conference until the 2001 season, by which time Brookwood reinstated their football program and the two schools swapped affiliations to their primary conferences.[5][6] Wonewoc-Center left the Scenic Bluffs football conference after the 2015 season to join the Ridge & Valley Conference as part of a cooperative program with R&V members Weston.[7] The Scenic Bluffs Conference remained at seven football members until the 2020 season, when a comprehensive realignment plan of Wisconsin's football conferences courtesy of the WIAA and WFCA took effect.[8] Hillsboro left to join the Ridge & Valley Conference for football and was replaced by Luther, longtime members of the Coulee Conference members of the Southwest Wisconsin Activities League for the 2019 football season.[9] This alignment remained in place through the 2022-2023 competition cycle.[10] In 2024, Luther rejoined the Coulee Conference as football member after a six-year absence. They were replaced by Hillsboro and Ithaca of the Ridge & Valley League, with Hillsboro making their return to the Scenic Bluffs after four seasons in the Ridge & Valley.[11] For the 2026-2027 realignment cycle, Ithaca will be entering into a cooperative agreement with Weston to take effect after their arrangement with Wonewoc-Center ends after the 2025 season.[12]
