Vikings win 35-17 over the Saints.
Sloppy. Slippery. Wacky. Penalty-ridden. Turnover-laden. Big-play-filled. Rivalry-induced. Fun. If you're a Viking fan. The first half belonged to the Saints.

Final score: St. Charles East 26, Geneva 7
St. Charles East's sophomore football team took a 14-0 halftime lead, and that was enough to hold off the Vikings in an Upstate Eight battle Friday at East. The Vikings made a charge to start the second half, holding East to three-and-out, then scoring on a Dan Santacaterina run with 4:38 showing.
