GENEVA – The Geneva-Metea Valley football game Friday had more explosions than your typical summer action movie.

The final score at Burgess Field was 61-48 Vikings as the players scorched Geneva’s new turf field. The Vikings racked up 61 points led by another monster night for Bobby Hess, who tallied five total touchdowns, including three of the rushing variety in the first half.

Geneva (3-5) came into the game looking to send out its seniors right in their final home game and get their younger players experience. They did that and more as the young Vikings, led by freshman quarterback Nick Derr, jumped out to an early lead and held off the Mustangs (2-6) in the Upstate Eight Conference crossover game.
