South Iowa Cedar League

The South Iowa Cedar League is a high school athletic conference in south central and southeastern Iowa. The conference is made up of mostly 1A schools, as well as a few 2A schools (the two smallest classes in the state).

Originally a 12-team league, the conference has had 11 members since Williamsburg joined the Eastern Iowa Hawkeye Conference in 1999. In the fall of 2014 the schools of the SICL voted to allow Colfax-Mingo to join the SICL making it a 12-team league again.

Sports

Football is administered through the Iowa High School Athletic Association, with teams assigned to districts based on their enrollment classification and geography. Most SICL schools are in Class A, the smallest of five classifications for the 11-man football game, although Sigourney-Keota -- which has had a cooperative agreement since the 1990s -- is Class 1A. Four SICL schools -- Iowa Valley, English Valley, HLV and Tri-County -- play eight-man football.

The conference offers the following sports:

• Fall — volleyball, boys' cross-country and girls' cross-country.
• Winter — Boys' basketball, girls' basketball and wrestling.
• Spring — Boys' track and field, girls' track and field, boys' golf and girls' golf.
• Summer — Baseball and softball.

Although the member schools field junior varsity teams (for freshman and sophomore athletes) in many of the above-mentioned sports, conference championships are determined at varsity level only. Also, not all schools field teams in every sport, while others are part of cooperative sharing agreements with schools in and outside the SICL.
