How Did Batavia Dominate Geneva Friday Night? Let Me Count the Ways
Batavia had a total of 23 first downs, while Geneva had 14.
It really wasn't much of a contest Friday night at Burgess Field. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 21-0 lead, Geneva tried to get back in it just before the half, but a big stop at the end of the second quarter and a bigger takeaway to start the third led to a pretty easy win.
