The 2009 football season ends tonight for two teams as Oxford will entertain Moravia in a Class D crossover, while Sherburne-Earlville marches north to face Morrisville-Eaton. Tomorrow, we feature the remaining three games on the local slate, and examine area coaches’ opinions on senior leadership.

Unadilla Valley-Edmeston, according to athletics coordinator Matt Osborne, was unable to find an opponent in week nine, and wraps up its season with an 0-8 record. Below are summaries of tonight’s games:

Moravia (5-3) at Oxford (4-4), 7 p.m.

Among the 15 Section IV, Class D teams, Moravia invades Blackhawks territory with the third rated scoring defense among the D schools giving up just 12.8 points a game, while on offense, the Blue Devils’ varied attack scores at a rate of 23.6 points per game.

“They finished in the same spot in division play as us, and they’re probably thinking the same as us: A player here or there, and they’re in the playoffs,” said Oxford coach Mike Chrystie. “They have some decent skill guys and they’ve fought some injuries. I think they’re finally back at almost 100 percent.”

Moravia has mixed the run and pass over the years. At times it will utilize a spread formation, and other times it will line up in the “I formation” and run right at defenses. “I’m sure they will want to establish the run, but they won’t be shy about spreading us out if they need to,” Chrystie said.
