The Blanchard Valley Conference is an Ohio High School Athletic Association affiliated athletic league located in Hancock, Hardin, and Putnam Counties in northwest Ohio. Its name derives from the Blanchard River, which runs through the area in which the schools are located. Findlay, which is part of the Greater Buckeye Conference, Riverdale High School, of the North Central Conference, and Fostoria St. Wendelin, which is part of the Midland Athletic League in all sports but football, are the only high schools in Hancock County that are members of the Ohio High School Athletic Association that are not part of the BVC.

Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or conference:
“To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
