Boys varsity soccer team falls in overtime, finishing DVC play at 1-6.
AURORA—Sometimes, the ball does not bounce the right way. The Wheaton Warrenville South boys soccer team learned that the hard way during a 2-1 overtime loss to West Aurora on a non-goal.

At the conclusion of the Wheaton Warrenville South vs. Batavia soccer match Monday, both teams came midfield for the customary good sportsmanship handshake. Tigers' coach Guy Callipari firmly embraced one of Batavia's players, one who saved goals from going into the Bulldogs' net and kept the score close. It was his son, junior defender Cam Callipari.

"I've been waiting for this game for 16 years now, so it was definitely a big buildup," Cam said. "I came really excited, really ready to go. I put everything I had into it." Cam prevented his father's players from scoring goals. In the 24th …
