A Batavia Sports History: 100 Years of Rivalry
The Batavia Historical Society and the Batavia Depot Museum will present a program on the history of Batavia sports at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, at the Batavia Public Library.
In the first 100 years of Batavia’s rivalry with Geneva (1913-2013), the teams met on the gridiron 94 times. Game 95 was played on Sept. 13, and Batavia's Library Director George Scheetz will share facts and figures on "The Biggest Game of the Season: Batavia Bulldogs vs. Geneva Vikings."
The program will include statistical highlights such as the most lopsided scores, to playing fields, to athletic conferences and school traditions.
