History
[edit]The Mississippi Valley Triangular League was formed as a basketball-only conference in 1936[1] by three schools that left the Little Eight Conference in 1935: Augusta, Black River Falls and Neillsville. Competition lasted for four years before the conference stopped keeping records in 1940,[2] however the conference members continued to schedule each other on an annual basis until the late 1950s.
