The Fox River Classic Conference (often shortened to FRCC) is a high school athletic conference made up of 10 teams in Northeastern Wisconsin, centering primarily around schools in Brown County, Manitowoc Lincoln High School, and the high schools of the Sheboygan Area School District, which maintained deep rivalries with the schools of the Green Bay Area School District in the forerunner Fox River Valley Conference. Conference schools are members of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association based in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

History

The FRCC was formed in 2007 when Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, De Pere and Pulaski left the Bay Conference and joined up with a stronger eight team Fox River Valley Conference. This was mainly done to level the playing field as the four Bay Schools were larger than most of the other Bay Schools. In 2011, Green Bay West requested to leave the FRCC and Green Bay East asked to leave the conference also. Both Green Bay East and West have stated they have not been able to compete in the FRCC. In January 2014, the WIAA approved a Realignment plan that would put Green Bay West and Green Bay East out of the FRCC and into the Bay Conference. This took effect for the 2015-16 school year.[2]

Divisions (2007-2015)

From 2007-2015, the Conference was divided into East and West divisions based on which side of the Fox River the school was on. For football, the divisions changed based on standings from the previous season. With Green Bay East and Green Bay West leaving at the end of 2015, the FRCC eliminated the divisions and teams played all the others in a season.
