In a rivalry that has already seen 100 meetings, Batavia and Geneva remains one of Illinois’ biggest matchups. The past few years the Batavia Bulldogs have absolutely dominated the field.  The Illinois school refused to allow their Viking rivals get so much as a single point.  The 10-5 record in Batavia’s favor will only grow if this pattern continues. Will Geneva step up this year or suffer another devastating loss?
