Waubonsie Valley High School is a public high school in Aurora, Illinois located in the west suburbs of Chicago. It competes in Class AA, the "large school" division, of the Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) State Championship Series. The Warriors also compete in the DuPage Valley Conference and are former members of the Upstate Eight Conference.
History
As a mercurial team in the early 2000s, Waubonsie Valley played for the Cary Grove sectional and participated in various tournaments. Over the years the Warriors' competitive success has been hindered by its proximity to Illinois powerhouses Wheaton North & IMSA. In the early 2010s, Waubonsie Valley joined the Upstate Eight and eventually won its conference in 2014. After joining the DuPage Valley Conference and the IHSSBCA QB circuit relatively recently in the 2014-2015 season, Waubonsie Valley has made significant progress as one out of the many rising teams in Illinois. The team has participated in a multitude of tournaments starting in 2016 with significant finishes including winning IHSSBCA Kickoff, finishing 4th at the NIU Huskie Bowl, & winning its first IHSA Regional title the following year. Since then the Warriors have remained competitive including challenging Naperville North to win back-to-back Conference titles in 2022 & 2023.
