Geneva made big plays in all three phases, including a momentum-changing blocked field goal, as the Vikings celebrated homecoming with a 35-17 win against Lake Park in Geneva.
Quarterback Ben Peterson accounted for all five touchdowns, the Vikings’ running game wore down the Lancers in the second half, and the defense came up with two big interceptions as Geneva moved above .500 for the season at 3-2, 2-1 in the DuKane Conference.
Peterson threw for three touchdowns, including two to Lincoln Mercado. He also ran for a score and caught a touchdown pass on a throwback from Bennett Konkey, who also caught a scoring pass.
