This rare RPPC postcard depicts the 1911 BVC football team gathering together for a photo. The last digit of the year is hard to read, although it's assumed to be a "1" for 1911.
Approximate size: 5.4 inches x 3.4 inches
The BVC is the Blanchard Valley Conference, which officially started in 1922, however, it's believed that this postcard is of a precursor team to the BVC officially starting 11 years later.
The Blanchard Valley Conference is an Ohio High School Athletic Association affiliated athletic league located in Hancock, Putnam, and Wood Counties in northwest Ohio. Its name derives from the Blanchard River, which runs through the area in which the schools are located. Findlay, which is part of the Northern Lakes League, and Cory-Rawson, which is a part of the Northwest Central Conference, are the only high schools in Hancock County that are a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association that aren't part of the BVC.
