When you find something that works, stick with it.
Before Friday, Geneva had one win over Batavia since 1994 -14-12 in 2004 at Bulldog Stadium.
So why not try that again?
The Vikings did just that, winning 14-12 on Batavia's home field, their second win in the last 13 tries against their rival.
There were more similarities than the final score. Both games Geneva capitalized on Batavia being unable to convert its PATs.
Both games Geneva ran the ball well. Nick Herrera had 172 of Geneva's 273 rushing yards in 2004 - last night it was Michael Ratay gaining 136 of Geneva's 244 rushing yards.
