There will be a new and improved Corky Kell Classic beginning in 2016.
The annual event released its 2016 schedule and will feature several northeast Georgia teams and will also expand to a third day. The 25th Kell Classic will now feature two games in Macon featuring middle Georgia teams.
Annual Kell Classic participants North Gwinnett and Mill Creek will once again take part. Buford, who will be playing in its ninth-straight finals on Saturday, was added for the 2016 event.
Next year's Kell Classic will expand to Thursday with a pair of games at Mercer’s Five Star Stadium in Macon.
