The Flambeau-Soo League is a former high school athletic conference with its membership located in northern Wisconsin. It existed from 1942 to 1947 and its member schools belonged to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.
History
The Flambeau-Soo League was formed in 1942 by five high schools located in north central Wisconsin: Fifield, Glidden, Park Falls, Phillips and Prentice. Four of the five original members were located in Price County along Wisconsin Highway 13, but the conference also counted members in Ashland and Sawyer Counties during its existence. The conference also ran concurrently with the similarly named Flambeau League and several of its members competed in both organizations. Butternut became the sixth member of the Flambeau-Soo League after joining in 1943, offseting the loss of Park Falls the next year. In 1945, Draper-Loretta and Winter became Flambeau-Soo League members, bringing the roster to its high of seven schools. Fifield and Phillips followed Park Falls out of the conference for the 1946-47 school year, and the Flambeau-Soo League competed for one more season before disbanding in 1947.
