The Tomahawk Conference began in 1944, when 7 schools-Gaylord, Morton, Morgan, Franklin, Fairfax, Gibbon, and Winthrop-formed a basketball league designed to add interest to the regular season play. The Tomahawk Conference now has Cross-Country, Volleyball, Boys and Girls Basketball, Baseball, Boys and Girls Golf, Softball, and Boys and Girls Track and Field.
