I really enjoyed reading this one from @ByPaulJohnson for the Tribune---

Nelson Wendell ran for 95-yards and a pair of scores last night, and added an interception for good measure.

That Geneva offense is absolutely loaded.

[Nelson Wendell @NelsonWendell2]

So happy to be out there with my teammates and best friends!!! BIG team win last night! Let’s keep it rolling. 🏈

Go Vikings! 💙🤍

@GenevaVikingsFB opens the scoring. Make it look easy. 4 plays, 2 runs, 2 passes and a big penalty. Vikings’ Nelson Wendell score from 3 yard out. Vikings 7, North Stars 0. @mikeclarkpreps @mattjnow @GHS_ILathletics

[Matthew McGowan @matt_mcgowan12]

@GenevaVikingsFB strikes first. A five-play opening drive is capped by a three-yard touchdown run from Nelson Wendell.

This RB for Geneva, Nelson Wendell, is a sleeper. Konkey and Peterson get a lot of the pub (deservedly)----but Wendell does all the little things that help make it possible.

[Nelson Wendell @NelsonWendell2]

2026 Week 2: What a shootout! Tough 44–42 loss to Oswego, but proud of our team’s relentless effort and competitive spirit against one of the best teams in 8A.
