Foren said two top five teams in the state shouldn’t meet in the first round of the TAPPS playoffs, but that was the hand he was dealt and he did the best he could to prepare his squad.Dallas Christian has won 12 state titles and is one of the standard bearers in TAPPS and they played like it in Saturday’s contest and defeated the Eagles, 54-23.Geneva closes its year at 9-2 and it’s two losses came to No. 2 Dallas Christian and No. 1 Brazos Christian.“I’m proud of our guys, they battled from the start. We didn’t go in intimidated, but we knew they had been in those types of games before, a lot of them,” he said. “Their coach has been there 34 years and they’re the standard for this level. We knew we could play toe to toe with this team and we did for a while.”Dallas Christian was up 13-3 at the end of the first quarter and had a couple of long runs of 54 and 76 yards for touchdowns to get their 13 points. The Eagles blocked one of the extra points and their 3 points came on a 28-yard field goal from Parker Eiland.Geneva’s Shae McNew sliced into lead in the second quarter after he scored on a 9-yard scramble and the Eagles trailed 13-10 after the Eiland PAT.The Chargers had the next two scores after a short touchdown run and then a Pick-6 interception bumped their advantage to 27-10 in a span of less than two minutes.Geneva wouldn’t quit and cut into the lead again, this time after Eagles QB Caleb Quitadamo found Chase Doran on a short TD pass and it was 27-17 with 3:37 left until halftime, but Geneva wouldn’t get any closer.Dallas Christian closed out the quarter with a 27-yard field goal and a 7-yard TD run for 10 more points and took a 37-17 lead into intermission.Once the second half started, the Chargers added to their lead with a field goal to make it 40-17. Geneva tallied one final touchdown in the fourth quarter after Quitadamo punched it in on a run of 7 yards and the lead was down to 40-23 after the Eagles went for two points and didn’t convert with 11:44 left in the game.The Chargers closed it out with two more rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter for the final of 54-23.Dallas Christian has a receiver, Dylan Belt, who is being recruited by several DI schools, but Foren said they have a lot of other weapons as well.“In the first half we limited him, but it’s pick your poison. They had a running back and a quarterback that made a couple of huge runs,” he said. “They didn’t force the ball to (Belt) and were disciplined to get it to other people.”Geneva will graduate five seniors in Quitadamo, Eiland, Reid Aderholt, Bryce Hanover and Koen Huebner.“I’m proud of the seniors, they’ve been awesome. They faced a lot of adversity and I’m their third head coach in three seasons,” Foren said. “They’ve gone 19-5 in the last two years and went 9-1 in the regular season this year and our only losses were to the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the state. I’m just disappointed that we don’t get another week with them.”</div></body>
