I know they are not as strong as they were during the Elisha Justice years. But it still looks weird not seeing Shelby Valley in this event.

Valley has been a part of the Farm Bureau Classic all five years it has been at the Expo, and this is the first year they're not in it. I wonder if they weren't invited, or they declined an invite.

Now granted, the talent level at Valley is not on par with that of the '07-'10 era teams, but SV did play in it the last 2 years as well. This year's group would have to be considered at least as good as those last 2 teams.
