AT THE HALF: It's a Blur—Vikings 20, Wheaton North 17

This week we're having trouble with the Twitter folks, but we'll give you the first-half Tweets, becuase (a) I'm not sure what transmitted and (b) I couldn't possibly type this during halftime.

Geneva leads 20-17 in a wow of a high school football game.

Wheaton North attempted a 47-yard field goal with 3.4 seconds that would have tied it.

Which is appropriate. Neither of these teams are giving an inch. And Geneva is taking a lot of risks that so far have paid off. They recovered two onside kicks in the first half.

It was 20-10 in the first quarter alone.

OK, now here's your reading challenge. Start the Tweets from the bottom and move your way up.

That's a chronological order.
