In a dominant performance, Geneva Eagles used their strong rushing attack to defeat Lakeside Dragons 41-6, securing their first victory of the season. Running backs Cooper Dubsky and Brody Hamm led the way with a combined total of 221 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles' offensive line was instrumental, moving the ball 308 yards on the ground while keeping the Dragons' ground game to just 38 yards.
Despite a strong opening week against Lutheran East, Lakeside struggled to execute in critical moments, turning the ball over three times and committing costly penalties. Coach Terry Henton acknowledged his team's mistakes, stating that they beat themselves as much as the Eagles beat them. Geneva opened the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown pass from John Dodick to Dubsky, followed by a 3-yard touchdown run by Gavin Queen.
The Dragons managed a lone touchdown from JJ Murphy, but the Eagles closed out the game with a 95-yard scoring drive and a final touchdown from Dodick to Devin Owens. Both teams will face off again next Friday, with Geneva hosting Parma Normandy at SPIRE and Lakeside welcoming Cleveland Rhodes.
