GENEVA – Scheduling suggested Friday’s Geneva-Batavia girls basketball game provided the undercard entertainment for the boys in prime time.

The girls also will play the earlier tip-off in the schools’ Jan. 11 double-gender doubleheader in Batavia. By then, there might just be a movement for a flip-flop.

Many fans who hadn’t seen the first 24 minutes of the girls game Friday found themselves fighting hallway gridlock as the Vikings and Bulldogs slugged out the final eight. While Geneva’s 60-56 victory maintained the team’s stronghold in the Upstate Eight Conference River Division, it also served notice about Batavia’s emergence to a few more folks than usual.
