Geneva Girls Varsity Basketball Team Wins Conference

(Click the headline above to see the full post! Click this link to watch the win over St. Charles East on Vikings Sports Network.)

The Geneva High School Girl's High School Basketball Team earned sole ownership of the Upstate Eight River Conference Championship by defeating St. Charles North on Saturday. They won the conference by playing through the final buzzer of the last game of the season, making every game count, and never taking any game for granted. Their competitors in the confernece failed to do that. Champions play all the way through, overcome odds, and find a way to win. Geneva did that.
