Geneva Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Anthony Chahino
Anthony Chahino's big game helped extend Geneva's winning streak to eight on Friday. Chahino was dynamite, throwing for 265 yards and six touchdowns.
Geneva's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Chahino and Geneva will welcome St. Charles North at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 44.07
Talyn Taylor was instrumental in extending Geneva's winning streak to eight on Friday. Taylor was unstoppable, picking up 122 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Jake Feller Makes It Two for Batavia
The second Batavia player making an appearance here is Jake Feller, and for good reason. He picked up a sack, made five total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended two passes. He is on a roll when it comes to defended passes, as he's now defended at least one in the last three games he's played.
For the year, Feller has averaged 5 total tackles per game and for the season has 4.5 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.5 defended passes per game. This year he is averaging one defended passe.
Gamescore: 19.75
Carbonaro Posts Huge Game in 35-13 Defeat
Rounding off our Top Five is Luca Carbonaro of Wheaton-Warrenville South. Carbonaro threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns.
For the year, Carbonaro has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 188.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 18.7 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 95.9 passer rating.
