About this Article

Sidney Santos and Geneva saw no need to review tape of their first game with Neuqua Valley. “We knew that was not our team,” said the Vikings junior. “It came at a bad time.” Times are better now. No. 16 Geneva turned the tables on a 23-point loss the day after Thanksgiving in a big way Friday in Naperville, surprising No. 2 Neuqua Valley 54-46 in a matchup of Upstate Eight Conference division champions.
