=Twin Valley Athletic Association= The Twin Valley Athletic Association was a high school athletic conference in Michigan that existed from 1931 until 2001 consisting of Class B schools in South Central Michigan.

Early Years (1930–42)
Principals from Albion, Battle Creek Lakeview, Coldwater, Hillsdale, Marshall, and Sturgis met in December 1930 during the Michigan High School Principal's Convention in Lansing to form a new league. All six of these schools previously participated in the Little Thirteen League, which was split that October due to geographical reasons. The principals of those six schools named the new league the Twin Valley Athletic Association as all the member schools were located near or along either the St. Joe and/or Kalamazoo rivers. Hastings also petitioned to be in the new league as well, but was refused by the principals of the other schools.

Initial competition in the Twin Valley began in the Spring of 1931 with Track & Field and Golf as initial sports. Football and Basketball being added as conference sports for the 1931–32 season.

The first membership changes in the Twin Valley occurred in March 1933 AS Lakeview dropped out of the league and was replaced by Adrian beginning in 1933–34 basketball season. Lakeview would rejoin the conference (except for football) beginning with the 1936–37 basketball season but again would leave for a second time after the 1937–38 season.

Hillsdale left the league in football after the 1938–39 season and was replaced by East Lansing as a football-only member for the 1939–40 season. Lakeview would rejoin again as a partial member in 1941 for spring sports with Lakeview rejoining in fall and winter sports in 1942–43. Hillsdale (except football) and East Lansing would become full time members for the 1942–43 season as well expanding the conference to eight teams.

World War II (1942–45)
Gas rationing as part of the second World War almost brought an end to the Twin Valley prior to the 1942–43 basketball season. Both Adrian and East Lansing left the conference while the other member schools abandoned their league schedules as uncertainty arose. However, the league stood strong and play would resume as normal starting with the 1943 baseball season.

Hillsdale's football team re-joined the league starting for the 1943–44 season with East Lansing rejoining in all sports for the 1944–45 season.

Post War Era (1945–61)
The Twin Valley expanded to eight teams with Adrian being readmitted into the Twin Valley as a full member for the 1946 spring season (Adrian did not complete in the Twin Valley for football until the 1947–48 season). Hillsdale wanted out of the league in football after the 1949–50 season, but the league voted Hillsdale out of the league in all sports after their request. The league remained at seven teams for two years until Three Rivers joined for the 1952–53 season. This alignment would remain until the end of the 1960–61 season.
