No. 5 Batavia at No. 10 Geneva, 7 p.m. Friday
This might be the oldest — and best documented — ongoing rivalry in the state. The neighboring teams first met in 1912 and have played each other every year since 1937 with the exception of 1996. Geneva (5-0, 3-0 DuKane) leads the series 51-48 with five ties. But Batavia coach Dennis Piron is 12-0 against the Vikings and the Bulldogs (4-1, 3-0) have allowed only 14 points in the past seven meetings. Batavia quarterback Ryan Boe has completed 66% of his passes for 1,090 yards and seven TDs with just one interception. Charlie Whelpley leads the Bulldogs in rushing and receiving with 599 total yards on 79 touches. Geneva has a productive pass-and-catch duo in quarterback Nate Stempowski (742 passing yards, nine TDs) and receiver Talyn Taylor (26 catches, 472 yards, six touchdowns).
