Gasconade Valley Conference


The Gasconade Valley Conference is a high school athletic conference consisting of six small, rural high schools in Mid-Missouri. All the schools in the conference are Class 2 and 3, a norm for small rural schools in the area. The league takes its name from the Gasconade River, a tributary of the Missouri River in south-central and central Missouri.
The league officially offers championships for girls in Basketball, Cross Country, Softball, Track & Field and Volleyball. And for boys the league officially sponsors championships in Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Soccer and Track & Field. Some schools sponsor sports that are not sponsored by the league but are sponsored by the Missouri State High School Activities Association, such as Golf, Tennis and Girls soccer. Cuba sponsors football and Steelville sponsors Eight-man football.
The league is also somewhat unusual among those in Missouri in that it offers official fall baseball and spring softball competition.

List of member schools

*The class in which a school competes depends on the size of the school, and the particular sport or activity. Most activities compete in four classes, but basketball competes in five and football in six. Because basketball is by far the most popular sport in the state in regards to school participation, MSHSAA officially uses the five-class system to classify schools.
