The four remaining schools from the St. Joseph Valley League athletic conference are expected to join a newly created, 10-team league.
The Berrien-Cass-St. Joseph Conference was announced this week during the Bronson Community Schools Board of Education meeting. The new league, which will include SJV members Centreville, Bronson, White Pigeon and Mendon, will debut in the 2014-15 academic year.
Other members will be New Buffalo and Lake Michigan Catholic from the Red Arrow Conference, and Cassopolis, Buchanan, Bridgman and Niles Brandywine from the Lakeland Conference.
The state of the SJV became jeopardized after Colon, Constantine and Schoolcraft left it in 2008.
Athletic directors from the 10 schools have agreed to split the new conference into east and west divisions.
