The 16 to 7 loss suffered at the hands of the powerful McMillin coached Geneva team last Saturday served its purpose as a baptism of fire for most of Coach Horween's green material and clearly showed several fundamental early season faults which must, and probably will be, ironed out before the next meeting of the season with the Crusaders...
