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:

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.”
