Another season of MVL football has come to a close and the Race of the Decade has heated up with New Lexington closing the gap on Sheridan to take a share of the top spot. The other big story this season is the meteoric rise of Tri-Valley, who soared ahead the stagnant Ceramics. Morgan also moved up one spot on West Muskingum.
