Mid-East League and Big 7 announce possible merging of the two leagues
The Mid-East League and Big 7 are meeting to discuss a possible merger of the two leagues.
The effort was announced by the Silver Lake school district early Wednesday.
Silver Lake and Rossville, two Topeka-area schools, are a part of the Mid-East League, along with Riley County, Rock Creek, St. Marys and Wabaunsee.
The Mid-East League was formed in 1948 and will see Rock Creek depart for the North Central Kansas League at the end of the 2023-24 school year.
The Big 7 includes Hiawatha, Holton, Jefferson West, Nemaha Central, Perry-Lecompton, Sabetha, Riverside and Royal Valley.
"The two leagues will continue to meet independently and collaboratively to work towards a potential merger with the possibility of competition to begin during the 2024-2025 school year," the release said.
