It was a tough night for the Batavia Blue Devils in Victor.
A Victor team that executed well on both sides of the ball held Batavia scoreless through four quarters while running up a 40-0 tally.
Batavia could never really get anything going on offense, while the Victor team (also nicknamed the Blue Devils) were able to both run and catch through most of the night.
Victor also benefited from four turnovers.
Coach Dan Geiger said after the game it was a tough, tough loss for his team, but that they will be ready to get right back to work preparing for the next game. He said as always, Batavia has tough schedule, but that's no excuse. Each game, he said, the Blue Devils are ready to snap on their chin straps and fight to win.
The Victor team (now 3-0) scored on its first possession on a 30-yard pass from Richie Chute to Matt Koval.
On the next position, after an interception, Josh Maves scored on a one-yard run.
Batavia was down 14-0 as the first quarter ended. Victor added 13 more points in the second quarter on a Sean Hackel 3-yard run and on a blocked punt, which Ray Ali recovered in the end zone.
On its first position of the third quarter -- following another Batavia turnover -- Chute hit Connor Kimball on a 38-yard TD strike. Victor's final score came in the fourth quarter when Tommy Wagner punch over a 1-yard TD run.
Batavia drops to 0-3.
(At about 2:30 minutes into the video, Victor is credited with a touchdown. I've watched several times, and I don't see how the RB got within a half yard of the goal line. See what you think.)
