Nov 5, 2021 11:18 PM - Geneva knew there weren't many people giving the Vikings a chance. As the Vikings football team took the field Friday night, hosting St. Rita in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs, there was always belief in their locker room. Geneva held St. Rita to just three first half points led by a stellar defensive effort, but the Vikings just didn't have enough for a talented opposition. St. Rita used a couple of big plays in the second half for a 28-7 victory in a game that finished lopsided, but doesn't tell the entire story.
