Mississippi Athletic Conference — 1986-present Officially, the Mississippi Athletic Conference was formed in 1986 but in reality it was just an expansion of the Mississippi Eight league as further population growth in the Quad Cities led to the creation of Davenport North while Pleasant Valley—who won the 1985 Class 3A state championship— moved up to Class 4A. The Mississippi Athletic Conference is rich in tradition and known for the classic 1980’s battles between Davenport Central and West to the most recent dogfights between Bettendorf and Davenport Assumption. The M.A.C. is also recognized as one of the toughest 4A conferences in the State and annually has teams ranked in the Top 10. As well, numerous athletes from the M.A.C. have continued their careers collegiately and beyond. To date, since Iowa's 1972 inception of the State Playoffs, current M.A.C. members have won a total of twelve (12) Class 4A state championships: Bettendorf (7), Davenport Central (3), and Davenport West (2); historically speaking, Central and West won four of the first six Class 4A state titles. As well, Pleasant Valley won the Class 3A state title in 1985. Mississippi Athletic Conference Champions
