Injuries and post-heavy personnel prompted a shift in the Geneva girls basketball team’s defensive approach this season.

Instead of using their traditional 1-2-2 full-court diamond press, the Vikings aim to create more half-court havoc.

Wheaton Warrenville South ended Geneva’s season in the sectional semifinals last winter by consistently beating the press, then won in December against a Geneva group in transition. Tonight, the Vikings and Tigers will renew their rivalry in an IHSA Class 4A Bartlett Sectional semifinal. For as much as Geneva has changed in the past year, it still relies on the same key principle.
