Your Morrisville Eaton Mavericks are Section 3 Champions!!!! We want to thank everyone who came out to support the team today as Morrisville-Eaton secured their 2nd Section championship in 4 years. This victory is extra sweet as they not only avenged last year's loss but an earlier season defeat to the same team. Frankfort-Schuyler who was ranked #1 in the state, was on a roll amassing a 23 game winning streak including 2 consecutive Section 3 titles.
This streak was broke today on some last minute heroics. Morrisville fumbled on the 1 yard line that would have given them the lead. Frankfort looked poised to secure the victory as they were draining the clock, but with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter Gavin Baker would force a fumble on 3rd down to give the Mavericks a chance. 2 minutes later they would capitalize with a 1 yard touchdown run and 2pt conversion to put the Mavericks ahead by 4.
Frankfort would have 1 minute left on the ensuing kickoff to try and win the game, and with a passing attack that had been effective all game it would come down to how Morrisville's secondary would respond. After completing a short pass Frankfort would hit a big screen pass that was negated by an ineligible man down field. The following play all but sealed the win as Cade Zaleski found the quarterback and forced the game winning fumble.
Your Mavericks move on to Regional play this Saturday at Morrisville college for a noon kick-off. We couldn't be more proud of what this team has accomplished this year, especially after a 0-2 start to the season. We want to thank all the fans, parents and players who have helped make this season special, without your continued support this season wouldn't have been possible especially through a 5 road game stretch. We also want to thank Sherburne-Earlville who we have had a close partnership the past two off-seasons, their coaches took the time to come today and supply their own equipment to help on the sideline.
