Each team has to make a decision to improve their schedule.
SJA has done that this year. I applaud them.
Gardner Edgerton has done it.
They dropped five duals against weaker teams- Paola, Ottawa, Eudora, Sante Fe Trail and Lawrence. and added two 2 day tournaments : Eudora Tournament and North Kansas City.
GE is joining the East Kansas League next year. Hopefully be more competitive than Frontier.
If a school wants to opt out of JOCO classic. I am sure it is possible.
