GREENE – After reaching an agreement at the end of last season, both Oxford and Greene decided to merge its football programs for the 2025 season. It was a positive feeling for both schools, who had struggled to successfully return to 11-man football, to join to get back into a mighty Class D schedule.

The Oxford-Greene “Trohawks” took to the field for the first time in new uniforms in a week zero game against STAC contenders Oneonta. OG is co-coached by James Wrench and Jason Lyon. Oneonta scored 30 points in a wild first half of play and the OG defense held them to just seven points in the second half. The Yellowjackets took the 37-8 victory.

Oxford-Greene got on the board late in the second half as David Dunckel found the end zone for the first touchdown in OG program history and Dunckel successfully helped the team convert on the two-point conversion.

Jacob Gallo, who was the starting quarterback for Oxford for the past few seasons, changed positions this season as running back, defensive back, and even the team’s kicker/punter. Gallo had an onside kick after the scoring drive, which hit off a Oneonta lineman and was recovered by Caleb Holbert. Eli Eggleston saw reps at Quarterback in the final minute of the game and OG had Donte Wrench fighting with carries, but could not find the end zone in close plays.
