Troy Accepts Invite to Join Twin Valley League

By Mike Smith

06/21/2012

The league affiliation shuffle continues to clear up with the latest piece of the puzzle, Troy deciding to accept an invite to join the Twin Valley League starting in the 2013-14 academic year.

After a school board meeting last night, Troy high school decided that they would move forward and join the TVL after this next academic year, when the current Delaware Valley League will disband.

With the addition of Troy the TVL will move back to 13 schools in 2013-14, like it had this year, with the possibility of adding more. The TVL will play next season with 12 schools, after the doors of Bern high school closed after this academic year.

Fellow current DVL member, Doniphan West, who like Troy had been offered an invite to join the TVL, will have a board meeting tonight to decide its league future. They are expected to join the TVL, alongside Troy.

That will leave Horton as the only current DVL school left without a league affiliation starting in the 2013-14 academic year. Horton recently missed out by one vote to join the Big Seven, as the Big Seven voted to accept ACCHS and Riverside to the league starting in 2013-14. Troy, last night accepted their invite to the TVL with Doniphan West excepted to do so tonight. KC Christian is anticipated to move back to an independent school. Horton has been extended an invite by the TVL to join their league.

The league movement all sprouted from eight current DVL schools deciding to disband from the league and form their own league starting the 2013-14 academic year. Those schools doing so are: Oskaloosa, McLouth, Jackson Heights, Immaculata, Maur-Hill Mount Academy, Jeffereson County North, Valley Falls and Pleasant Ridge.

The league movement still has a few puzzle pieces to fall into place as we continue to learn the future landscape of Northeast Kansas high school league affiliations.
